Okay, I know this might be a weird question, but how do aligners affect kissing? I just started wearing them, and I’m kind of nervous about it. Do they make things awkward or uncomfortable? I don’t want my partner to feel like they’re kissing a plastic mold!
Haha, I had the same concern when I first got my aligners. Honestly, it’s not that bad. The first time I kissed my partner with the aligners in, I felt super self-conscious, but they didn’t even notice! I guess it depends on how well your trays fit, but mine are pretty snug, so they didn’t really affect anything. It just feels like normal once you get used to it.
I actually asked my orthodontist about this before getting aligners, and they said it’s a common question! From my experience, it’s more in your head than anything else. I was really worried that my partner would notice, but they barely did. The only time it felt weird was if I hadn’t taken them out in a while and my mouth was dry. Keeping hydrated helps.
This made me laugh because I had the same thoughts when I first started aligners. I was worried my girlfriend would find it weird, but honestly, she didn’t notice a thing. I think if you’re self-conscious about it, it’ll feel more awkward. But if you’re relaxed, it’s like the aligners aren’t even there. I do take them out sometimes if we’re having a “romantic moment,” but it’s not really necessary.
kissing is no big deal. I was nervous at first, but my partner was super cool about it. In fact, they said they couldn’t feel a difference. The key is making sure your mouth isn’t too dry because that can make things feel a little sticky. But once you get used to the feeling of the trays in your mouth, it’s business as usual.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who worried about this! I was so paranoid the first time I kissed with aligners in, but it was totally fine. I even asked my partner afterward, and they said they didn’t notice anything different. I think it’s more about how comfortable you are with the trays. If they’re sitting properly and you’re confident, it won’t be an issue at all.
For me, kissing with aligners felt a little awkward at first, just because I was overthinking it. I kept thinking my partner could feel the plastic, but when I finally asked, they had no idea I was wearing them! I don’t even notice anymore, and I rarely take them out for kissing. As long as you’re not super self-conscious, it’s really no different.
I’ve had aligners for about six months, and my partner didn’t notice any difference at all when we kissed. I do take them out sometimes if we’re getting more, uh, serious, just because I feel like it’s more comfortable for me. But on a day-to-day basis, kissing with aligners in isn’t awkward or uncomfortable. I think it’s all in how you feel about it!
This is such a relatable question! I was nervous about this too, but after a few kisses with the aligners in, I totally forgot about them. My partner didn’t notice a thing. It helps if you’re not thinking about it too much. I agree with everyone else—keeping your mouth hydrated makes it feel a lot better. Dry aligners can sometimes feel a little sticky, but other than that, no issues!
I was so worried that the plastic would make things weird, but honestly, it’s not that bad. My partner didn’t even realize I had them in the first time we kissed after I started wearing aligners. The only thing I notice is that if my aligners are getting old and a little loose, they can shift a bit when we’re kissing, which is a little distracting. But that’s rare.
