I have been using Invsialign for about two months. I’ve been very pleased with them. I guess that could also be the source of my problem. I completely forgot I had the aligners in when a friend came over. I made some coffee for the two of us and drank a complete cup before I realized what I’d done. Now the aligners are warped. What do I do?

Anita,
I guess too comfortable isn’t a bad problem to have. There isn’t much you can do about the aligners that have been warped. You’ll have to have your dentist make a new pair.
You mentioned you forgot you had them in. I’m hoping you keep your Invisalign aligners in most of the time. You can take them out for meals obviously, but other than that you will want to leave them in for the treatment to be effective.
They’ve got a high patient satisfaction rate, so I understand how you can forget about them.
