Is It Normal for My Teeth to Hurt After Switching Aligners
Feeling soreness after switching to a new set of clear aligners is completely normal. Each new tray applies gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth into their next position, which can cause mild discomfort for the first 1–3 days. This soreness happens because your teeth, ligaments, and jawbone are adjusting to the new alignment. Switching trays at night, eating soft foods, using aligner chewies, and taking over-the-counter pain relief can help manage the discomfort. Wearing your aligners as directed helps your teeth adapt faster and keeps your treatment on schedule. Think of it like starting a new workout — a little soreness means you’re making progress toward your goal.
