Although Invisalign is less painful than braces, patients may experience slight discomfort during the initial phase of wearing new aligners, indicative of the orthodontic treatment taking effect. This minor soreness can be managed with over-the-counter medication and usually subsides within a few days. You'll find the discomfort diminishing with each successive set of aligners.
