Help Me! I Lost My Invisalign Aligners! What To Do?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 1st, 2009

It’s Thursday night and I believe I lost them yesterday at school. These are the last aligners before getting my final retainers. I’m actually pretty much done but still had to wear them because I have an implant crown that needs to be replaced before getting the final retainer.
I have no contact with my orthodontist until Monday. His office is closed tomorrow. I’ll only be able to see him Monday but the thing is, I feel I really need something to keep my teeth in line before Monday comes along. I know, from experience, that if I don’t wear my aligners for more than one day, my teeth do shift a little (I notice this because when I put my aligners back in, I feel the pressure).
I need something to retain my bite. I have a really nice general dentist. You think I can have her make me a retainer (I’m willing to pay whatever).
I’m just so worried. Advice?

JUST CALL THE DENTIST TO REPLACE THIS SET OF ALIGNERS.

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
