Why do I feel no discomfort or pain in my Invisalign Aligners?

Aimerson_1Sep 25, 2016
Hi! I am on my second tray of aligners when I first put them on 5 days ago I felt no pain or discomfort and I still don't. But on my first pair of trays my teeth were very sensitive. Am I doing something wrong with my procedure? Or are my aligners not working? Thank you for answering :)

To ensure optimal results, Invisalign trays should be worn 22 hours per day for two weeks. I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your dentist, who knows the specifics of your case. He/she may recommend wearing your current tray for an additional day or so. Good luck and I hope this...

Visit your local dentist to discuss options for a "few" additional aligners.  It would be the best way to get your teeth back to alignment and be sure to discuss proper retainers to keep your teeth aligned and straight FOREVER!Good luck!
