Q. Hi i\’m experiencing a lot of discomfort in my bottom jaw since the invisalign, the top is fine but the bottom is very painful and i feel like i need to remove the aligners! Can i do this untill i see my ortho, i \’m not even getting used to the pain, it\’s been like this for over a week now :(,
A. Hello, I am sorry you experience the discomfort! Your lower jaw might just be a little more difficult case. Check whether there is some soft tissue bruise on the gum or cheek. Usuallay, the discomfort gets better if not contact your doctor for earlier appointment.

Q. Does the invisalign treatment hurt? I can\’t stand any sort of pain but my teeth are very crooked, i would like some braces that cause as little as pain as possible, if not invisalign can you recommend something else for me please? thank you,
A. The aligners will move your teeth and this will cause some discomfort, but I would say that it does move your teeth fairly slowly so it should not be agonising pain. Invisalign is the most gentle. Just be aware any form of braces will cause some discomfort!

Q. hello, i\’ve been told i need to have added elastics with my treatment because some of my upper teeth protrude greatly. I\’m a bit worried if they\’ll be painful? that don\’t sound very comfortable, will they be very painful? :(,
A. Don\’t worry about using elastics. You will soon get used to wearing them. As you are aware, some discomfort is to be expected, but you should not be in too much pain. Please note that the degree of pain is very subjective and will depend on how good you are with getting used to them.

Q. Hi -im hoping u can help or point me in right direction. I am on tray 9 of express treatment and the movement of teeth is fantastic, I have a problem though the last movement was intense on two teeth in particular. These teeth became sore and sensitve. Now though my front tooth has darkened and im worried that it has suffered trauma, my dentist says she could see a slight crack and put some treatment onto tooth. Im worried i have spent a lot of money correcting my \’ok\’ smile to a \’perfect\’ smile to now being concious about a darkened tooth. Which is upsetting. Im just wanting some help could this be caused by invisalign treatment? Im sorry if im not using your website correctly but i just want someone to listen who understands? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you,
A. Its difficult to be precise as to the cause of discolouration without adequate assessment and investigation. Its best to see a dentist for a second opinion

Q. I had my first set of trays in place a few days ago and i\’ve noticed a significant difference in discomfort. the top jaw is in more pain than the lower, is this normal? i\’m worried! also it\’s much easier to take out the lower than the upper, why is this?,
A. The difference lies in the fact that both arch are different. It should get better and easier with time

Q. I\’ve had my aligners in for like 4 days now and my teeth feel like they\’re experiencing a lot of pressure and i\’m worried about it. what can i do to ease this pressure, it\’s quite painful!,
A. It may be prudent to take paracetamol. The pressure is not usually that serious. Is this teh first aligner? Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS

Q. i\’ve had the aligners in for a few days and due to my bottom tray my tongue is really painful! i can feel the sharp edges around it but there\’s nothing i can do about it, what can i do?,
A. You rtongue should get used to it. If it is the back edge then maybe you could remove the last tooth off the aligner Dr R Kumar

Q. i\’m having pain in my lower jaw since i\’ve had invisalign fitted, i\’m really worried, i didn\’t think braces would hurt this much! please help! what should i do?,
A. With any form of a brace system as does Invisalign, it is not unusual to have some discomfort in the first few days of wearing the brace. This doews get better with time. Contact your dentist if it does persist

Q. I have only startted my treatment and have read many things about the treatment. One thins I noticed is that people said it hurt at the start but except for a brief spell of pain I have hardly felt anything. Is this normal as I am beginning to wonder if the current tray is even making any difference?,
A. Yes it is normal to feel some discomfort when you start wearing an aligner and also when you change to a new aligner. Keep wearing the aligners for the required number of days and do not be tempted to change any earlier as this would have a detrimental effect on the teeth.
