Pain from Invisalign

My trays are rubbing up against my inner cheeks, as well as the underside of my tongue. I can barely speak nor swallow without pain. Is this normal? What should I do about this?

A: Call your Dentist, and don't do anything yourself

The aligners need to be adjusted or smoothed down. If they are flaring out too much, the dentist may need to take new impressions and start over.
