I have been on Nystatin, Fluconazole, and Magic Mouthwash but still get a white tongue that is sensitive, what are we missing?

Question

3 months of issues after starting 2nd Invisalign retainer. I was treated for thrush w/ 2 rounds of Nystatin and 7 days of Fluconazole. The thicker white areas cleared up but my tongue was still has cracks, inflamed taste buds & still turns white. We adjusted the retainers, no luck. I have gone back to the 1st retainer, meh results. Is something else wrong and the retainers are only irritating it? Or did the retainer do so much damage before we began tweaking it that my tongue just hasn't healed?

Believe it or not, you may be allergic to the aligner material. 
There is a separate material that Invisalign uses, which you can switch to and all your doctor needs to do is call Invisalign and request to change out those aligners. You may also need to make sure there isn't an underlying medical condition. 
Nystatin is for fungal infection. Your immune system may not be working correctly since this has been going on for such a long time. It may be best for you to stop treatment, let everything heal, and start over with the other type of Invisalign material.
