Each aligner will make slight adjustments to tooth position, a process that is mapped out in advance by a TrueAligner affiliated licensed dental professional who reviews your case.

It is a sign that your aligners are working, gently moving your teeth to their final destination. This soreness should gradually go away after the first few days of wearing new aligners. If the pain doesn’t go away or is getting worse, give your TrueAligner dental provider a visit or contact our customer care team.

To order a replacement aligner please call your TrueAligner providing clinic.
