I Wear Invisalign and I Have Nausea Almost Every Day and a Weird Feeling in my Face- Causes? (photo)

It's hard to describe the feeling, it is like a mix of pain and pressure right under my eyes and in my cheeks. I definitely have not felt the same since I started wearing my trays back in April. My dentist thinks it is odd that I am feeling this way since he has never heard of this before. Does anyone have any advice? I have 5 more months of my teeth shifting then a lifetime of wearing the retainers and I seriously cannot live like this anymore. Maybe I am allergic to the plastic? Please help me

I Wear Invisalign and I Have Nausea Almost Every Day and a Weird Feeling in my Face- Causes?

It is very rare to have an allergic reaction to invisalign aligners, but invisalign does offer another material for these rare cases. Your dentist will need to contact invisalign to ask for the alternative product. I would also suggest that you seek out a medical consultation with a physician to discuss your atypical facial pain.

Allergic Reaction to Invisalign

You seem to be very uncomfortable with the invisalgin and are experiencing enough symptoms, I would suggest you discuss the symptoms you are having with your medical doctor. He could you refer you to an allergist who could test if you are having an adverse reaction to the material the invisalign is made from. There have been some problems in the past with allergic reactions in patients to the invalsign material, and I would not continue with the treatment until I got to the crux... more

I am on my first week. I also have the pressure under my eyes and nausea - I am hoping it goes away. I am attributing it to my body reacting to a foreign object in my mouth? Does that make any sense?

That makes sense. Also, if you think about they way your anatomy is the roots of your teeth are relatively close to your under eye area, so its not surprising that you could have some discomfort there when the teeth are starting to move. Hopefully that all goes away as your body adjusts to Invisalign. :)
