Invisalign is known for its comfort and discreet appearance, but if you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies, you might be wondering: Can Invisalign cause an allergic reaction?

What Invisalign Aligners Are Made Of

Invisalign aligners are crafted from SmartTrack®, a BPA-free, medical-grade plastic designed for comfort and flexibility. The material is hypoallergenic for most people, and allergic reactions to Invisalign are extremely rare.

Possible Reactions and Symptoms

  • Though uncommon, some individuals may experience:
  • Mild gum or mouth irritation
  • A temporary increase in salivation or dryness

Minor redness on lips or tongue

In rare cases, people with known sensitivities to plastics or adhesives may experience a mild allergic response. These typically subside within a few days as the mouth adjusts to the aligners.
