are invisalign supposed to hurt
Usually the soreness lasts a day or two, but each aligner is different. Some hurt more than others, some don’t hurt much at all. With set 14, I experienced residual soreness for almost a whole week, but with 15, my teeth are pain-free only two days after the new aligner. Invisalign can’t fix every problem. Discuss with your dentist or orthodontist what Invisalign can and cannot do for you, and consult more than one expert. You can and should ask to see a ClinCheck, which is a short animated movie that Invisalign produces of your teeth and how they will be moved by Invisalign.

Some people report a lot of pain with Invisalign, but there are several things you can do about it. Community members in this RealSelf forum describe using wax to cover sharp or rough edges on their aligners. Others have their dentists file down sharp edges. Invisalign braces are just another type of orthodontic appliance used to create a constant force on the teeth in order to move them. When worn correctly they will move the teeth. Anytime teeth are moved the body produces chemicals to help the teeth move and the bone remodel around the teeth. These chemicals, while helping the body move the teeth will also produce soreness and sensitivity around the teeth. If this is your first time using the invisalign, hang in there!
