If you have Invisalign braces, you may be wondering what to do if they break. The good news is that you can usually fix them yourself, and you won't need to see a dentist or orthodontist. Here are some tips on what to do if Invisalign breaks.
If one of your Invisalign aligners breaks, the first thing you should do is call your orthodontist or Invisalign provider. They will likely have a replacement aligner that you can use. If you don't have a replacement aligner, you can try to fix the broken aligner yourself.
To fix a broken aligner, you will need some super glue. Apply a small amount of super glue to the broken Pieces of the aligner and then fit them back together. Once the glue has dried, you should be able to wear the aligner as usual.
If you can't get a replacement aligner or you can't fix the broken one, you can try wearing your aligners without them. This will likely be uncomfortable, and your teeth may not stay in place as well as they would with the aligners. However, it is better than nothing.
If you have any questions about what to do if Invisalign breaks, you should talk to your orthodontist or Invisalign provider. They will be able to help you find a solution that works best for you.
