I totally agree with this...I am on set 14 and have always had discomfort and stiffer muscles from the beginning of invisaligns. I am 40 and decided to fix my teeth later in life, at set 13, my neck went out, so much in fact that it affected my shoulder and ran down my arm. I sat and suffered with so much pain for two weeks that I took them out for two days to relax my jaw. Not only that I massaged my jaw muscles and it felt like I had gotten punched, which was not the case. Also, I enlisted help of a massage therapist to work on y specific needs and my neck muscles and traps were so out of whack that I actually cried during session. I am sill wearing them because I am half way, however, I wish that the possibility of this problem would have been addressed beforehand. My neck base, the top is the most affected, needs to be rubbed on a regular basis due to my jaw muscles aching or I cant turn my head. Hope this helped and your not alone!
