Inman aligner pressure is causing me pain
I have had my Inman Aligner for 9 months now, seems to have been a very long and slow process. I have never experienced any pain with it but I went to my dentist last Tuesday and ever since then the pressure on the tooth that the Inman Aligner is trying to move in is very high causing me pain. Is this supposed to happen? In some ways, I hope that the pressure means that the Inman Aligner is doing its job and my tooth will be moving due to the pressure and in other ways I am not sure if this could harm my tooth? Please advise

I would speak to your dentist and find out the treatment shouldn't be too painful, has the dentist carried out any IPR between appointments - this is where he would remove a little bit of tooth surface material with some strips between your teeth in order to create the small amount of space to allow the inman aligner to move your teeth
