Hello! I'm in the middle of my invisalign tx. Over the past few months ice had normal mouth pain from the teeth moving which I expected. Last Tuesday, however, I had the gap between my front two teeth shaved down a tad. My right front tooth is now VERY sensitive to temperature and touch. Very. Is this normal? It took about 2 days for the pain to start. Maybe 3.

Invisalign is your treatment of choice. a poor 2nd is veneers which would be bulky, difficult to match the colors of your adjacent teeth, and could fracture.
