Hey Doctor Patel, I’ve Developed A Sore Throat After Wearing Invisalign. Why Is This This?

December 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hey Doctor I have what I’m sure is a common problem that you could help me out with. Basically about 3 weeks ago I started on my Invisalign treatment. It was fine for the first couple of days but then I noticed that I had a slightly raw throat. I thought that this was just a bug that I’d get over so left it but it hasn’t got any better, it has in fact got worse. I’ve only just read that there are potential toxic reactions in some people so now I’m worried. Can you shed some light on this situation? Should I continue with the treatment or am I at risk of the problem getting worse if I do? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to braces?

Q.

Mr Patel, I have always struggled with the dentist as I know many people do. I am now told that I have to have braces and that’s about as bad as it gets as you can imagine. I also, just to make matters worse, have a weak immune system which means I have allergic reactions to pretty much anything including dust! I was wondering if there is anything used when having braces that could cause any kind of reaction? or whether you had heard of any related case before… be honest ha! thanks
