Trouble eating with new Invisalign attachments. Will it get better?

April 18, 2018
Asked By:AnastasiaBeaverhausen in Springfield, MA

I got 15 Invisalign attachments put on today. 9 upper, 6 lower. Mostly all in the back/sides. Without the aligners over them, they are very rough (not sharp). It's also very difficult to eat now. It's hard to chew, and I keep biting my bottom lip instead of the food. Is this normal? Will it get better? Thanks!
