SMILE-FX® / Miramar / Clear aligners
Does Invisalign® hurt?
Invisalign aligners can cause discomfort or tightness as they apply pressure, according to the manufacturer.
Different information, different questions
The AAO distinguishes tooth tenderness, tissue rubbing from fixed brackets or wires, and an observed appliance change. These describe different matters.

Lea’s conversation
Fictional adult Lea reports tightness.
Orthodontist: “Tightness describes your experience; my review checks treatment progress and tooth and gum health.”
Lea: “I’ve described my experience, not established treatment progress.”
A teen and guardian
Teen: “I described a feeling, not treatment progress.” Guardian: “Helping communicate is optional, not clinical assessment.”
The conversations are fictional; the distinction is this guide’s interpretation.
