A question for anyone who has had Invisalign before?

Question

I have had invisalign for roughly five days now, and the soreness is gone but is replaced with a HUGE urge to grit and grind my teeth. Is this normal? It just feels a lot better to crunch them, like I need to put pressure on them because they have that "floating" feeling to them. I'm worried if I do this then I may damage the aligners in some way, and I have to wear them for another month before I get my next set of aligners put on. Is this feeling normal?

Please answer if you've only had invisalign aligners, or some other type of orthodontic work done.

Answer 1

That urge is normal. My friend had it too and asked the orthodonist about bout it and he just said it was completey normal. You can put pressure on them just not too much and you should be fine. Good Luck!!
