well since they are just like braces its going to hurt. thats the sacrafice you have to make for straight teeth. oh and trust me you can kiss with braces so im sure it'll be no problem kissing with invisalign. you wont be able to tell the difference. it took me about a week and a half to get used to my braces. just take some advil or tylenol or whatever you take for any other pains.

About the soreness: When I got braces, they hurt like woah! And they were scraping my mouth and lips all up. But then a few days later I got used to it. Now about a month ago, my ortho gave me bands, and they scraped my lips too, but now I don't even notice they're there. Just give it time!
About the kissing: I don't know, but probably.. it would seem like it! :]

yea your just not used to them. take advil for a few days until they feel more natural. you CAN kiss people in them, considering kising shouldndt relly involve teeth too much ;D

Advil helps the mouth pain. Invisalign has the same effect as braces, which is to move your teeth into the correct position. You will be tender after you get a new one, every time. Try not to eat hard things for a day or two. Good luck!

I didn't have invisalign braces, but I did have braces and I remember the soreness well. Especially after the braces were tightened. This is caused from the pulling and pressure on your teeth, and actually mean that the braces are working. After 2-3 days, and a little movement of my teeth it would no longer hurt until the next adjustment. You can always ask the dentist about the sores in your mouth, I imagine he will advise some type of rinse to help them heal. In addition he might need to make adjustments so they are not rubbing or creating friction on the tissue. As far as medications, if you are not allergic and/or have stomach problems it is most likely safe to take ibuprofen, once again it would be best to ask your dentist. Best of luck..oh and by the way..Kiss AWAY! It would be perfectly safe!
