Do you wish you can have straighter teeth? If so, you\u2019ve probably considered getting clear aligners<\/a> for a quicker and more discreet process. After around 12 to 18 months, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy your perfectly aligned smile! However, it\u2019s common to experience some mild discomfort during the treatment, especially when you\u2019re getting used to how they feel. Read on to learn six ways you can minimize this while wearing your clear aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Take Pain Relievers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may feel minor sensitivity during your clear aligner treatment. Fortunately, a common remedy to minimize this is to take OTC pain medication. This is especially helpful if you take one an hour before switching your trays. Once you get accustomed to the feeling, you should experience a smoother process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Use a Cold Compress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ever feeling sore, you can always apply a cold compress to alleviate the discomfort. Doing this is a great way to soothe your gum and mouth tissues. The next time you switch to a new set of trays, try pressing this or an ice pack against your cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Eat or Drink Cold Foods & Beverages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similar to a cold compress, munching on or drinking cold foods and beverages during your treatment can help reduce any discomfort in your gums. These meals can include tasty treats like ice cream, yogurt, and popsicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Avoid Crunchy Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since your trays will be working to shift your smile into a proper alignment, this can cause your teeth to feel mildly sore. For this reason, it\u2019s important to avoid hard or crunchy foods so that you don\u2019t risk placing too much pressure on your pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Change Aligners Before Bedtime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another way to manage discomfort is to sleep through it! Try switching to your new trays before bedtime, that way you can be resting during the first few hours where you\u2019ll feel the most sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 #6: Visit Your Dentist Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With regular dental checkups, your dentist can help you clean and maintain your smile during your treatment process. They can also detect any issues that could be causing any discomfort while wearing your clear aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By practicing these few tips, you can feel more comfortable as you wear your clear trays. Once you\u2019ve finished your treatment, you\u2019ll be able to fully enjoy your perfectly straightened smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
