Hi, I’ve had tinnitus for about seven years, on and off. Recently, my dentist recommended Invisalign to help. I’ve just started the treatment, but my tinnitus flared up three days in and hasn’t stopped. It’s now day seven. I contacted my dentist, and he advised me to continue the treatment...

...From researching on Tinnitus Talk and elsewhere, there appears to be a trend of people developing TMJD and/or tinnitus after starting Invisalign / teeth aligners. Although I know Invisalign causing tinnitus is disputed, Invisalign can induce TMJD which exacerbates tinnitus at the very least...

Hello, Have you noticed any pressure in your jaw when you wear or remove your Invisalign? Do you find yourself clenching more while wearing it? I’m not a doctor, but tinnitus can sometimes be caused or worsened by jaw-related issues. I’m in a similar situation—though I have a retainer instead...

Hey Claire just wondering what happened switch you and your Invisalign? Did you find the culprit. I have tinnitus and I'm going to dentist for Invisalign but I'm afraid till get worse.

...of having metal in my mouth to straighten my teeth. I don't like the idea of going through university with braces. So I'd rather opt for Invisalign. In a year or so. Has anyone here gotten Invisalign? If so let me know if the process involved anything loud like drilling. (Likely not but I'd...

...After asking about which options there were to align my teeth, and specifically asking about noise, my dentist recommended to do an Invisalign treatment. She said it would not be very noisy. During the treatment frequent dental cleaning is needed, but this has been done manually to avoid...

I decided to do Invisalign at 41 and it was going very smoothly, except I noticed I was playing with the retainer at night in my sleep. I previously suffered from TMJ, but was symptom free for years. My previous symptom was headaches and I’ve never had tinnitus before in my life. Two+ weeks...

...that needed to escape. I went to the E.R twice, 2 ENTs, neurologist, physical therapy, acupuncture. I have been doing it all... I had Invisalign for the past 2 years. I found myself constantly clenching my jaw and sucking on the braces. The dentist and orthodontist seem to think that is what...

I had the option of either Invisalign or traditional braces. I went with braces. The dentist agreed that they are waaay less hassle than Invisalign, and you can get better results. Minimal pain and pressure. Far fewer appointments.

I should add that Invisalign works fantastic as well - otherwise people wouldn’t have it. And I’m sure your teeth look amazing @Juan :love:

I'd have to see if I could do braces with one of my front teeth having a crown. My dentist has only talked to me about Invisalign.

...and, in my case, attachments have been repositioned in the middle of the treatment, so they will have to be removed twice. My feeling is Invisalign also drives pressure to realign teeth that is transmitted through the jaw. My bite closed perfectly before Invisalign and I already told the...

I had Invisalign. Worked out well.

What have been drawbacks of Invisalign? I've been wanting to get it. I take them out during the razor and leave them in for everything else.

Yes, removing Invisalign attachments is LOUD. I do not recommend it.

I didn't realize there were attachments. I wonder if they are any better or worse than regular braces attachments. I need them specifically for my bite.

It seems it was a bad idea to go for Invisalign. I should have postponed the dentist for another few years.

My bite was aligned before I started Invisalign treatment. This is, my teeth closed correctly but they were uneven (some tooth leaning a bit forward, others squeezed a bit backward between other teeth), and I wanted to correct this, as a relative of mine lost a tooth for this reason... So...

I asked my dentist and they steered me towards Invisalign instead of brackets. They somehow sold me Invisalign, which has probably advantages and disadvantages, and I did not do extensive research. I have worn brackets in my teen years to correct my bite (but not to align my teeth, which got...

I have this tinnitus since October 2019. I wear an Invisalign and do not know of that this issue. Can someone help?

Do you still have your wisdom teeth? I have had the exact same experience as yours with Invisalign and my stupid orthodontist insisted on keeping my wisdom teeth at the start because they were fully erupted and cavity free. I had a chain of issues including tinnitus since I finished invisalign...

I had Invisalign. Loved them.

Invisalign does not work well, it's only for selected cases & for small problems. Go for braces...

...around this time from clenching. The hum lasted for a month or two, and then seemed to stop after I moved. Shortly after I moved, I got Invisalign (which means I was essentially wearing a mouth guard 24/7). My dentist at the time also confirmed that I had been grinding my teeth. Once I was...

I am beginning to wonder if my Invisalign treatment may be related in any way with my tinnitus. I'm still suffer so much.

I have tinnitus from (we think) a neck injury and after some trial and error a couple weeks ago I've found my Invisalign was aggravating it indirectly. I was on the same tray for two months because I needed an adjustment, and because I was so stressed out from my tinnitus, and I have a habit of...

So basically we are screwed either way...

...also like to note that I believe that my symptoms may also represent a TMJ disorder. Although I do not have any jaw pain, I have used Invisalign to realign my teeth which may have affected the TMJ. The crackling/grating/clicking sounds on my left could actually be dysfunction at the TMJ...

...the dentist, when they had to use the ultrasonic cleaner to remove attachments in my teeth... the dentist was bad. I regret having started Invisalign. So for me there is not a great solution to noise that goes through bone conduction when the source of noise is touching one's head, hair...

Hi Ciara, how are you doing? I wanted to ask you about the Invisalign treatment, as I am halfway through it. Was your bite aligned after the treatment? Did the teeth close correctly after Invisalign? How was your experienced when attachments were removed? Did it feel very noisy? My first set...

...TMJ. It messed up my stomach pretty badly but no associated tinnitus spike at least. That same specialist then tried to sell me on $4000 Invisalign, which I couldn't afford anyway, and which I know to be a much surer trigger than cure of somatic tinnitus. I've always been trusting of...

...I can mostly only hear it in a quiet room or un-started car. It’s not from noise exposure. Possibly caused by tight SCM muscle from Invisalign. Any idea if this could go away? I only ask because so many people say it’s a good sign you can only hear in the quiet room but it’s driving me...

...loud drilling. They cleaned my teeth with a very loud ultrasonic cleaning device and they apply attachments to your teeth with glue. Invisalign now requires attachments for the teeth to move in the proper position. Once the treatment is done all the attachments needs to be removed by a...

if your TMJ was fine why are you wearing retrainers? (that is a possible cause of tinnitus) Do you have a history of noise exposure, loud cars, music, excessive use of headphones? Do you also have noise induced pain, or notice things sounding to loud?

Yea I was scheduled to get a lot of oral problems fixed right before tinnitus struck - Invisalign, gum graft (or maybe something less invasive), TMJ treatment. I'm too afraid to go to the dentist now. I can feel all the tartar on my teeth too.

...see. I just saw a neurologist who basically blew me off but ordered an mri anyway. I currently am in the process of a full mouth reconstruction, i just started invisalign but my dentist said to give the nightguard a shot. We will see. I really hope this works im so afraid this will be...

...with your treatments? I really want to see a cervical chiro but none in this country I’m living in at the moment. My T started during Invisalign too. Not saying it was the cause because there were a multitude of things during that time that may have started it - ear wax, bruxism, bad neck...

Hi Freerunner, Sorry, I missed your post before. It's hard to deal with the dentist. I have had another session recently to remove Invisalign attachments. This time I have been exposed to an ultrasonic cleaner that makes a higher pitched sound than the tool they used at the beginning of...

...It is the light saber. Thank you, thank you for helping me put words to it. Mine improves appreciably when I am consistent on my meds. My TMJ however, will not abate until I am done with my Invisalign I am afraid. I have a bad habit of grinding the aligners together during the day. Danielle.

...came up in a really stressful period, and also weird "sticky" noises in my jaw and slight pain/tension in my jaw. So I'm wondering if an Invisalign treatment could help the whole problem and bring some relief and recovery, or if it's risky and make things worse? Any advice and experiences...

...and the first correction in a couple weeks. I also have a 2nd issue, but luckily it's a symptom not a root cause. I've been doing Invisalign for a while, and due to a comedy of issues, I've had to be on the same tray for over two months while a correction is made. I wasn't thinking that...

...there and still intrusive to me. I went back to my chiro today and got adjusted. After my left year became louder and my right ear lower, usually it is the reverse. Just wanted to update in case this actually works. My next step is to return to my dentist to get my invisalign started again.

...need to give yourself a rest because they only apply a very minimal amount of pressure because it is done over a longer period of time. Invisalign takes waaay less time to move your teeth, but because of this, the pressure is greater to get it done quicker. Also, ALWAYS use a retainer at...

Oh man, maybe that contributed, I had TMJ before mine struck too. I didn't know what it was at the time but I was grinding my teeth and having jaw pain and occasional muscle spasms in that general area months before because school stress which I would assume might have made me more vulnerable to...

...to get a couple of fillings done, three wisdom teeth taken out (already had one bottom taken out) and I wanted to get either braces or invisalign, braces being the better option so I can fully adjust my teeth and align them better. Was just wondering if any of these things could possibly...

...with that high powered water thing that's loud ass all he'll and my T stayed the same. I went back again and got my teeth molded for invisalign and my jaw was wide open for 15 minutes and no increase in T. If that's where your T is and the cause of your ear infections I would get that...

...at onetime. Go in one direction. Get a good non-cracker Chiro Doc. Don't settle for anyone. Onset, don't know. I just finished Invisalign 1.5 years of plastic braces. Made me clench all the time. Lost some hearing but it came back. Loud Speakers? I got older? Stressful times, my kids left...

Hi@Adrienne, I have eaustacian tube dysfunction related to bad allergies and a little TMJ , as I have Invisalign and grind when they are in. Horrible habit and can't wait until I am done with treatment as I do not grind my teeth. Anyway, both cause horrific fullnres in the ears. It is super...

...me out and said TMJ seems fine. Nobody can tell me what is causing this. I've had new retainers made in the past year after completing Invisalign. I chomp on those things pretty good when I'm sleeping. The dentist recently gave me a night guard that has seemed to shift my bite a little bit...

...having dental work done while my hyperacusis was severe. This meant many years without going to the dentist at all. A year ago I started Invisalign and this requires some cleaning, and using tools to set and remove attachments... well, this is a pain, and if your hyperacusis is very bad I...

I am doing Invisaling and also feeling worse during the treatment. I do not know the reason. Maybe it's the fact that the splints make pressure on teeth and this in turn makes pressure on other bones. I have headaches more often. Nothing very bad, but like dull headaches... I am at the middle...

...to allergies and horrific fullness in the ears as a result. All started the same tone as my T. I also have a touch of TMJ due to my Invisalign. I grind them when they are in my mouth during the day. Horrible habit I cannot seem to break. I don't do it when they are out of my mouth. Anyway, 4...

I started wearing invisalign braces last September, I had over crowding in my lower jaw, I am 41 and I think they were getting worse with age, My tinnitus started in October as a whizzing air sound in my right ear, only when I moved from up to down, ie. getting out of bed, which makes me think...

Best is double protection - earplugs and earmuffs - don't ever expose yourself to noise which is possibly bad. Best wishes.

...to stress on the jaws from talking and tense my face and jaw muscles when I get stressed too, which is every day. Re: the mouth guard, I have an Invisalign retainer that my dentist said serves the same purpose. It does protect my teeth but I can’t see how it lessens the stress on the jaws.

...in my ear. Interesting that my right ear was the one that usually made more noise. I’m also a long time clincher and grinder. When I had Invisalign you should’ve seen the condition of the aligners. I can feel tension through my jaws and my cheeks as the day goes on. Partly because I think...
