Am I Allergic to Invisalign?

July 21st, 2014

Hi there, I’m hoping you can help to answer my question. I started Invisalign treatment a month ago, and I anticipated some mild discomfort at first but my gums are actually severely swollen. This started roughly around the time I got my first aligner, but it hasn’t gotten any better.Is it possible that I’m allergic to the aligner? If so, what can be done about it? Thank you.

My gums have become swollen, could my new retainer be the problem?

i have recently started a course of invisalign and although I knew there would be discomfort, am now suffering from severely swollen gums, which only started happening around the same time as I got my Invisalign.
