Has anyone used teeth aligners before? (1 Viewer)

[Nina]

I’ve had braces before and I hated the experience but as I got older my front gap started to come back and some teeth shifted a little so I decided on using Byte. It’s like Invisalign but you don’t need to go to an ortho for check ins and new trays.

I just got my aligners yesterday and I’m already dying with the first tray. My bottom gums are bleeding a little too. If you’ve had teeth aligners before, how do you deal with the pain? Help me !!!!!

Beauty really is fucking torturous pain​

Out of curiosity, did you wear a retainer after braces?
And, no I haven't yet(?). I'm still trying to make a decision. I was going to do Smile Direct Club but the orthodontists and dentists keep telling me that braces is the best route. Even said Invisalign wouldn't help. Kind of stressful.

I did . . . And then it magically disappeared after six months.

Nope, never

I had braces for a couple years. I don't when they are supposed to be removed. If I am being honest, I'm not great with making appointments. I was supposed to go to one last fall, but it kind of slipped and I never rescheduled.

Same. But sometimes on purpose cuz I hated my ortho.

No I had a retainer from my orthodontist.

Someone I know who has used Byte said it was painful for about a week than it got better. They were using otc Tylenol for the pain.

I had Invisalign and it would be a little bit painful for a day or two after I switched to new aligners (mainly just the taking out and putting back in parts) and then would be fine. I never had bleeding gums though. The day I switched them I would sometimes have to take paracetamol to help get to sleep but otherwise it was just there.

I have a really high pain tolerance though so maybe that's why it didn't affect me as much. I've heard of people having to go with regular braces because the invisalign or removable ones were just too painful.

As a person who had braces before what the hell is a teeth aligner LMAO

I’m not gonna lie that sounds not very healthy if it’s to the point of your gums bleeding
Maybe it’s just me though

My gums are pretty healthy so not sure how common it is to have them bleed with aligners. The edges aren't sharp either.
Gonna go see my dentist about it if it keeps happening >.>
