Why does my invisalign not hurt
Invisalign may not hurt because the aligner is applying a small planned force, and soreness is not a measure of treatment progress.
What is the direct answer?
Invisalign may not hurt because the aligner is applying a small planned force, and soreness is not a measure of treatment progress.
What does this question mean?
Clear aligners move teeth through controlled pressure from the tray and any bonded attachments. Some people feel pressure or tightness, while others feel little with a particular tray.
What can you do next?
Wear each tray for the prescribed schedule, seat it fully with clean hands, and follow the planned sequence. Do not change trays early without the orthodontic team.
When should you seek dental care?
Contact the orthodontic team if a tray will not seat, an attachment detaches, the aligner cracks, or teeth stop tracking.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask how aligner progress is checked, whether the tray is fully seated, and what to do if the next tray does not fit.
