Does orthodontics hurt?

Orthodontics doesn't really hurt, but it can cause slight temporary discomfort, especially in the first few days after placement or adjustment.

Digital and personalized orthodontics have made everything more comfortable: impressions are made without unpleasant paste thanks to the digital scanner, and custom-designed appliances fit better and are easier to install.

Most patients describe discomfort rather than pain, which rapidly disappears as they adapt.
