Invisalign Pain
Pain is something we’re asked about a lot during and before treatment. With any orthodontic action, your teeth and bones are moving to make your smile straight and beautiful. This movement can cause mild soreness after an adjustment or switch of aligners. Luckily, this soreness should last a couple of days at most, and there are many things you can do to lessen the pain. Over-the-counter painkillers, orthodontic wax, and eating soft foods after appointments are easy ways to make your adjustment easier and lessen pain.
