Does the lack of discomfort during Invisalign treatment mean that my teeth is not moving at all?

Doctor's Answer

As long as the aligners are fitting well and are well seated, rest assured you have nothing to worry about!

I would have to agree with Dr Sylvia, we all have different pain thresholds and adapt differently to the aligners as it is something new. Some patients feel more discomfort than others, and others manage perfectly well. It also depends on the tooth movement planned for that particular aligner, some aligners may feel tighter than other if greater or more complex movements have been planned for those particular aligners.

Do check in with your orthodontist if you have any concerns, I'm sure he or she will be happy to address them. I always feel this is the best way to ensure your treatment goes smoothly.

All the best!

Warm regards,

Dr Geraldine Lee
