is invisalign painful? (truth finally exposed)
Is Invisalign painful? In this blog post, we will unravel the truth about this common question among potential patients.
This is the most common concern patients have before getting Invisalign. In fact, some patients avoid the treatment altogether because of this very question, even when they have clear dental issues that need addressing. It’s time to pull back the curtains and reveal the truth about this matter.
No more beating around the bush or giving you vague “maybe” answers that don’t cut it. The answers you often see are designed to settle your mind, which isn’t a bad thing—but when misinformation is involved, that’s a completely different story.
So, let’s dive into why there’s a small chance patients can experience pain throughout their Invisalign treatment.
why <5% of patients experience pain
Yes, that number is substantially low, but it should put your mind at ease.
Let’s talk about that 1% and why this pain occurs. Here are some reasons this might happen:
- Tight Aligners: If the aligners are too tight, they can cause discomfort for the patient.
- Teeth Movement: Your teeth may become sore as they shift. In some cases, significant movement is required to achieve the desired result, which can lead to some pain during this stage.
- Removing the Trays: Taking the trays out is directly related to the points above and can also cause discomfort.
Now that you understand why pain might occur, it’s important to remember that the benefits far outweigh any potential discomfort you may experience.
why the pain means nothing
Yes, it can be scary, knowing there’s a minute chance you’ll experience some discomfort, but…
Does it really matter?
It doesn’t. You see, I’ve seen this treatment first hand completely transform lives for the better.
You can see the confidence radiate once they’ve finished the treatment and looked in the mirror for the first time. Their eyes glow up, and that twinkle in their eyes shows me how ecstatic they are with the results.
I can feel the overwhelming sense of relief in the room when they see the big reveal. My patients are able to do things they were anxious about before as well as enjoying life to the fullest.
I’m here to squash your anxiety, alleviate all worries, and get you back to where you deserve to be.
Here’s what one of my patients had to say:
“Today, I had the most incredible experience with Dr Raj at dental well-being in Iver & I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she greeted me. her warm and welcoming personality immediately put me at ease. Dr Raj is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being. Throughout my visit, she took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain the treatment process, and answer any questions I had. Her patience and ability to alleviate any anxiety I had about dental procedures were truly remarkable. Absolutely amazing. Thank you Dr Raj.” – Aadam Siddiqi –
