Q. just a quick question, i\’m on my first tray and it\’s very painful, will the other trays be as painful? if so is there anything i can do to ease the pain? thanks,
A. It is not unusual to get some discomfort with the first set of aligners for the first few days.It does get better with time. With every new set of aligners you are meant to feel some pressure which should last a few days or a little over a week. Pain killers does help in extreme case of discomfort.
