SORENESS

When teeth begin to move, the tissues around them can become inflamed causing soreness. It will always improve within a couple of days for young people and four to five days for adults. Continuing to wear your elastics anyway will actually improve the soreness, but there are other options for managing it as well.
Treat with warm saltwater rinses
Frequent brushing
Sugar-free, stick-free gum
Over-the-Counter pain relievers such as aspirin, Tylenol or Ibuprofen
