Metal Mouth Message Board

How sore should I be...? I feel slight pressure in my teeth, but I don't feel sore like I used to when I had regular braces (metal). Then I cuold not even suck on a straw without feeling pain. Now - with Invisalign - I feel no pain when biting down (just to try, not when eating).

I guess the aligners "protect" against the pain when biting down, etc. I'm just worried it might hurt like heck when removing them to eat, floss, etc.

What are your experiences?

Well, with traditional braces, the pain doesn't usually start until the next day. I'm not sure with Invisalign, but I would probably expect tenderness within the next few days. Good luck
