It’s normal to experience some discomfort when braces or aligners are first placed or adjusted. This is a sign that your teeth are moving. The discomfort typically feels like mild pressure or soreness and lasts a few days.

Over-the-counter pain relievers, soft foods, and orthodontic wax can help ease any irritation. Most patients adapt quickly and experience minimal discomfort throughout treatment.
