Sensitivity to Cold w/ Invisalign

I am almost done with my treatment. Recently, I started to have a very strong sensitivity to cold on the tooth that needed the most movement. Even the cold air hurts me. My doctor took xrays and found nothing wrong. I am really scared. I don't think that I could live with this. Have anyone have this problem?
