Orthodontics does not really hurt, but it may cause slight, temporary discomfort, especially in the first days after the appliance is fitted or adjusted.
With digital and personalized orthodontics, everything has become more comfortable: impressions are taken without unpleasant paste thanks to a digital scanner, and appliances, designed on a customized basis, fit better and are easier to place.
Most patients describe discomfort rather than pain, which usually disappears quickly as they adapt.
