I want to straighten my teeth. Is Invisalign treatment painful?
2 Answers
Invisalign treatment is typically not painful, but some discomfort or pressure may be experienced, especially during the initial days of wearing a new set of aligners or after switching to a new set. This discomfort is usually mild and temporary, often described as a feeling of pressure or tightness as the aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
Most people adjust to wearing Invisalign aligners within a few days, and any discomfort tends to subside as the teeth gradually move. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate any discomfort if needed.
It's essential to follow your dentist's instructions for wearing the aligners as prescribed and to attend regular check-up appointments to ensure that your treatment progresses smoothly and comfortably. If you experience persistent or severe pain during Invisalign treatment, it's important to contact your dentist or orthodontist for guidance and assistance.
