Can Invisalign Cause Locked Jaw?

MSBOct 17, 2008
I'm on my second set of retainers and my jaw locked up. It'snot locked open and its not locked closed, I just can't open my mouth all the way. It has been locked for about a week and a half. Has this happened to anyone during their Invisalign treatment? If so, how did you correct it ?
