Q. I’ve been wearing my braces for the past four days now, does the pain lessen after a few days or will i continue to feel the pain? I can feel the braces harpe underneath my top lip, how could I reduce this scratchy feeling?
A.
You should find that the discomfort that you are feeling will reduce over the next few days. As your teeth are moving they will be sore and uncomfortable. This will feel more tender when you start with your first brace. Usually the next aligner will only cause discomfort for 2 or 3 days. You could take some painkillers to help with the pain.
If the edge of the align is scratching the inner side of your lip then you can use a nail file to smooth the edge. You may find that would may need to do this for all your aligners or just one or two.

Good evening sir,
First of all thank you for the previous reply.
I just wanted to ask you two questions.
When I take my invisalign to eat, I feel like my teeth is beginning to start to wobble and feel loose, is this normal and why does it feel like this?
The second question I wanted to ask was, how long is one suppose to keep the invisalign in during the day?
