How Long Will My Invisalign Hurt?

The pain you feel from Invisalign is mild. You can feel some mild pain over the initial week. The micro-adjustments can also cause minor discomfort, but the good news is that the realignment is working. After a few days, the initial pain disappears, and follow-up trays will only cause a day or so of discomfort.

How Do You Get Invisalign to Stop Hurting?

Soft foods are an essential part of the first week's dietary plan. Go with easy-to-chew foods to avoid discomfort over the first week, and then repeat each day you get a new tray to put in.
A key step in making the most of your affordable Invisalign treatment is always putting your new aligners in before going to sleep. That way, the discomfort is minor, and you sleep through it.
If you have any rubbing, rise with an approved rinse. Many dentists recommend a pinch of salt in a few mouthfuls of water as a rinse.

How Long Do I Wear Them?

The most common question most patients ask is, "How long does it take for Invisalign to feel normal?" It takes several days to return to normal after your first alignment with our dentist in Saratoga . Each follow-up tray is a faster adjustment, though.

Wear your aligners for the recommended length, and don't cut corners. The longer you keep them in, the faster the discomfort goes away. The recommended length of time each day is at least 22 hours.
