• “I began my second week of treatment
and awoke the next morning in
excruciating pain.”

• “I spoke with a member from the "Dental
Team" and explained the issue. He told
me to stop treatment until my dentist
could be contacted. He explained that the
pain was rare, but to be expected.”

• “[My dentist] explained that the aligner
caused significant trauma to the bottom
teeth by moving the teeth too much.”

• “That is what caused the pain. We are
currently waiting two weeks for a followup
to determine if I will need a root canal. He
stated that there is possible nerve damage
to the bottom teeth.”
