A little soreness in the teeth but nothing big that you will need painkillers . It’s very easy to do
Yes it may as tooth movement is a healing process and may be associated with a level of discomfort
Usually the first 24-48 hours the teeth are sore due to the pressure. 600 mg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours relieves the discomfort.
Including myself, I have not had any complaints of pain.
Absolutely not. You may experience a little pressure every time you change your aligners but the whole treatment is very comfortable and never painful.
