Why would wearing Invisalign hurt?

I am an 18 year old female. My Invisalign hurts. Why would wearing Invisalign hurt?

In order for teeth to move, there must be pressure. The more pressure, the more movement. Once the teeth are moved, the pressure goes away as does the pain. Continue wearing for that beautiful smile!!!
It could be hurting because teeth are moving - consult with your orthodontist.

Any time you move teeth, it makes your teeth sore. The pain gets less with time. You can take pain meds.
