No, receiving your Invisalign clear aligners shouldn’t hurt or cause discomfort. However, we may provide an anesthetic for supplemental procedures like interproximal reduction. If you’re feeling especially nervous during any part of the procedure, we can offer sedation to help you relax.
Once you start wearing Invisalign, it’s not uncommon to feel some soreness for a few days. This is a side effect of your teeth being guided into place and should subside once you become accustomed to whatever tray in the series you’re wearing.
If you put in a new tray and experience soreness lasting more than a few days, call us immediately and we’ll do our best to solve any problems you’re having.
