Pain Level in Clear Aligners and its Effects in Speech- Literature Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
In place of traditional braces for orthodontic treatment, clear aligners are becoming more and more popular because of their aesthetic appeal and convenience. Nonetheless, many patients report experiencing pain and discomfort, particularly during the initial adjustment period or when switching to a new set of aligners. The aligners’ pressure, which shifts teeth into their desired positions, primarily causes this discomfort. Research shows that pain levels usually peak within the first 24 to 48 hours after starting a new aligner and gradually subside over time. Various factors, including an individual’s pain threshold, the complexity of tooth movements, and the fit of the aligners, contribute to differences in pain intensity. Moreover, clear aligners can impact speech, especially during the early phases of treatment. Patients frequently experience temporary lisping or challenges in articulating certain sounds because of the thickness and placement of the aligners. Although these speech changes are generally mild and improve as patients adapt, they can lead to short-term discomfort in social and professional situations. In conclusion, both the pain and speech issues associated with clear aligners are typically manageable and tend to diminish as treatment progresses, although they may influence patient compliance and satisfaction during the initial adjustment phase.
