Anyone who has had Invisalign OR braces?!
Question: Anyone who has had Invisalign OR braces.?
Okay so I have Invisalign and for those who don't know, my orthodontists switches out the aligners every month. This month I wasn't too good on wearing them, as I had accidently left them at my boyfriends house and couldn't get them back for a while, so I wore the aligners for about 2 weeks out of the 4 that I was supposed to.
I got my new set of aligners today and they were really tight. I've been good about wearing them and have worn them for about 12 hours today. I keep taking tylenol extra strength but it doesn't seem to be helping and when I take them out to eat, I am able to wiggle my teeth a bit. I know it's normal for my teeth to be loose while I get the new set in but it's pretty painful and I need some reassurance that it's normal and my teeth aren't going to fall out.
I know some friends who say their orthodontists have tightened their braces fast and so I try to tell myself that my mouth can handle it, and that it's a little more painful because I didn't wear my other ones as long as I was supposed to.
So yeah, I just need to know that I'm not going to mess up my mouth, and trust me I have learned my leson! It feels like there's a giant toothache and it's times by 3 (:Health Question & Answer

It's normal. I know it really hurts. I lost a lot of weight wearing them by not being able to eat.You might want to put some Orajel on your teeth for a few days.Health Question & Answer
