Wondering how painful Invisalign is? Great news! Invisalign is essentially painless. While just as effective as treatment with braces, Invisalign is the clear alternative to traditional treatment. Some mild discomfort may be experienced during the course of treatment, and initially getting used to the foreign hardware inside the mouth may be required. However, when it comes to pain, there should be little to none as your teeth are gently propelled into place by modern orthodontic technology.

Let’s Work Together!
Invisalign brings with it some responsibility. To ensure a successful and pain-free course of orthodontic treatment, the patient must wear the aligners 20-22 hours per day. Dr. Scantlebury will prescribe a new set of aligners as necessary, and lastly, the aligners must be properly cleaned every day. It is important that you follow these steps and discuss your treatment with Dr. Scantlebury. Not performing these important tasks will result in subpar treatment or longer time in office.
When considering how painful Invisalign is, there are some important things to keep in mind. Invisalign requires no complex parts. Thanks to the simplicity of treatment with interchangeable aligners, Invisalign is a great treatment for those seeking flexibility. There are no worries about getting food stuck in your teeth, making things more uncomfortable. There are no wires or brackets which can rub against the soft parts of your mouth. Invisalign is a great solution for patients of all ages.
