When will my invisalign stop hurting?

3-7 days: If they are hurting past this, definitely discuss with your orthodontist about making possible adjustments. Until then, consider some advil (ibuprofen).

Soon: Movement of teeth and supporting tissues requires energy. One of the chemicals produced when energy is expended will make tissues sore. Advil/Motrin/ibuprofen will reduce swelling carrying this chemical (adenosine disulfide) away. Take as per package directions. Rinse w warm salt water. Eat a soft high protein diet. Gove it a few days. It's worth it.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAIDs: Of course, Invisalign is not without side effects, and one side effect to consider is pressure and pain. You mostly only experience pain for the first day or two. Take the Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAID OTC to manage this pain.
