Is It Normal for Your Bite to Feel off While Wearing the Invisalign Trays?

It is very normal for you to feel that you cannot bite together properly when you first get started wearing Invisalign. As your teeth start to move, your bite may start to feel like it does not fit together at all properly and feels worse than before you ever started wearing the trays. This is entirely normal. Depending on the way your bite initially started before the treatment and the difficulty of movement needed to make your corrections, you may feel that your bite is “off” for quite some time. Some people who have relatively easy corrections will feel less discomfort with their bite than those who need drastic changes. Discuss your situation with your orthodontist so that you have a complete understanding of what to expect as your teeth move. Ultimately, your bite should feel very comfortable at the completion of your treatment as your teeth fall together into a normal occlusion. Be patient.

It is normal and expected that as the teeth move the bite will change.  As you near the end of treatment the bite will get closer to normal for you and will take some time to settle and feel completely comfortable even after treatment is done.  Not to worry, this is par for the course in orthodontic treatment.

It is a very common complaint that patients have when they are wearing invisalign that their bite feels off slightly.  Your teeth are moving and can easily be off a little.  It is very normal as well that they do not come together while you are wearing them since they are 2 pieces of plastic that are touching.  When completed things should feel back to normal.
