Do I have to change my eating habits? |

Will wearing invisalign braces aligners affect my diction? |

|
Is the treatment painful? |

Most people will have sensitive teeth for a few days following the treatment and wearing of a new aligner. This is normal and demonstrates the efficiency of the aligners and the fact that the teeth are moving as planned. This sensitivity will quickly disappear. |
