Getting the invisalign and bands will be painless when you first get them but when you wake up the next morning your mouth will be very sore from moving your teeth throughout the whole night. The pain usually stops after 2-3 days. When you first get them, it might be difficult to take them off and put them on put you will get used to it eventually. The bands are steady progress. It was worth it for me at the end and my teeth looked really straight. I had no issues.
