What the first few weeks feel like
If you go ahead, the first few days with aligners are usually the strangest. Knowing what's normal makes them much easier.
- Pressure: most people feel tightness for a day or two with each new set. It usually settles quickly
- Speech: a slight lisp is common at first and tends to fade within days
- Fit: putting aligners in and taking them out gets easier with practice, and your provider will show you how
- Habits: you'll soon get used to taking them out before eating and brushing before putting them back
- Snacking: grazing all day gets harder, which many people find helps them cut down
If anything feels sharp, very painful or doesn't fit properly, contact your provider rather than waiting for your next review.
Tips from day one
Try starting each new set in the evening, so the first hours of pressure happen while you sleep. Keep your case with you so aligners never end up wrapped in a napkin, which is how many get thrown away by mistake. Drink plenty of water through the day. And if you're worried about forgetting to put them back in after meals, set reminders on your phone for the first couple of weeks.
Keep your previous set in its case too, unless your provider tells you otherwise. If an aligner is lost or cracked, your provider may ask you to wear the previous set while a replacement is arranged.
Treatment times vary from person to person, and our guide to how long clear aligner treatment takes explains why. For a look at prices, see our clear aligner cost guide.
