We’ve all been there – coming back from a dental procedure that was completely new territory, and feeling that dreaded, irritating soreness beginning its ascent from our teeth, and into our jaw. All people are different, and all people find discomfort within different things – the good news is that if you fall into the percentage of the population with a low pain tolerance, there are a variety of methods to aid in bringing you relief from any discomfort, soreness or pain; even better, many of them don’t include just using ibuprofen and hoping for the best!

  2. Edmonton Invisalign Dentist •Switch to New Trays When Going to Sleep This may be one of the best pieces of advice I can offer to you! Switching to new aligners is going to be a little uncomfortable – why would you want to be awake for that? The first few hours of wearing your aligners that you haven’t adjusted to yet are the most difficult to endure, so if you put yourself through them while you’re unconscious, you’ll be able to cut out the hardest part and move on to the recovery. If you’re asleep, chances are you won’t be able to feel slight amounts of pain or discomfort. Also, you are going to wear the aligner for a long and uninterrupted period of time. •Protect Your Tongue It may be tempting to file the aligners down yourself, especially if they become a nuisance, but they may be crucial to the development of your teeth, and you wouldn’t want to obstruct the reconstructive process. It’s always best to leave the alterations to the professionals! •Utilize Painkillers Wisely, When Necessary If the pain is triggered by inflammation from the aligners pushing against your teeth, anti-inflammatories are most likely the preferred method to look into to accurately treat your discomfort. Advil or Ibuprofen may be your go to’s here, though always be careful to never consume on an empty stomach. Analgesics like Tylenol can also be used to control pain. www.cityorthopeds.com Phone: (780) 757-1001

  3. Edmonton Invisalign Dentist However, if the pain is caused from tensing your jaw or grinding your teeth, a muscle relaxant may be the preferred route to take. If this is the route you take, make sure to consult your orthodontist first, and avoid operating any heavy machinery or driving with these medications.
