What Can I Do About the Constant Urge to Chew on my Invisalign Trays?

September 18, 2010
Asked By:katek in Ohio

I have this constant urge to chew on my plastic invisalign trays. My jaws are always clenched and I am always chewing/grinding. Especially after the first week or so of wearing the trays, when the trays are a little looser. When I chew on them, they "pop" almost like popping chewing gum. It's driving me crazy and I am only on my 4th set of trays.
