Yes, Invisalign can cause damage to your teeth; however, this occurs most often when the guidelines for your invisible braces are not followed.

It’s not uncommon for your teeth to feel sore and unpleasant after wearing Invisalign, especially with a new, tightened set. Even so, your teeth should not be harmed as a result of this.

By mistreating your aligners, such as drinking anything other than water, you risk causing harm to your teeth. Other liquids, including carbonated beverages and fruit juices, might become trapped under your aligner and cause harm to your teeth.

Below are some complications associated with wearing Invisalign:

• Discomfort and Tenderness: For people who are using Invisalign for the first time, tenderness and pain are to be expected. While your mouth adjusts to the aligners, you will experience some discomfort for a few days. Once this passes, you should feel more at ease for the remainder of the therapy.
• Fillings that became dislodged: If you have restorations in the center of your teeth and are wearing Invisalign braces, the fillings may become dislodged. When biting down on the aligners, the filling has a chance of becoming loose, so keep this in mind when wearing them. Your filling will very certainly need to be changed.
• Nerve damage: If you’ve had a tooth extracted or if you’ve had a past dental injury, Invisalign may not a great option for you. However, suppose your dentist examines the previously affected area and concludes that your mouth is suitable for Invisalign. In that case, your orthodontist will inform you that the nerves are in danger of being harmed. To address the problem, the orthodontist may ask you to come for restorative therapy or a root canal.

If you seek more guidance and information, make sure to contact your orthodontist as soon as possible.
