Hi. I’ve had nothing but pain since investing in Invisalign treatment. It just won’t let up and it gets worse, every time I have a new set of aligners. My gums look very swollen. My dentist has said that this is bound to happen and I did expect some pain but it’s honestly constant. I’m not being dramatic and I’ve tried painkillers but at the moment the aligners are out more than they’re being left in. Can you please give me some advice as to what I can do? I don’t have much time left but feel the treatment hasn’t really changed my teeth because as I said, I always have to take them out. I haven’t told my orthodontist this and I don’t know what to do. Thank you for your advice in advance! I’m really hoping you can help me.
