Q. I am seriously contemplating getting invisalign but I have a few questions that I was hoping you would be able to answer? Are they similar to metal braces in terms of cutting the gums to bit and causing endless saliva? Do they hurt every time you get a new one like when you get metal braces tightened? Thanks.
A. Hello,
Neither Invisalign nor Metal braces should cut into the gum. Invisalign itself is much comfortable ( cosmetically nicer) option than having metal braces fixed on the teeth. Every patient reacts differently to braces regardging saliva production. The new aligner feels a bit tight for the fisrt couple of days but by the end of the second week it gets easier to remove it.
