upper respiratory issues

#1 Post by dar2drm4ever »

Hi:
I am on my 4th tray of braces. They are been minimally intrusive and they are much better than actual braces. My concern is that I have asthma and have not been able to get rid of bronchial inflammation. A recent flare has been persistent. I have a lot of sensitivities and am wondering if the Invisalign might be contributing to the an inability to get rid of it. I am on a lot of medication right now trying to find the solution. We have done tests to rule out major lung diseases but the problem continues so I started looking at other factors. In reading through some of the comments, it appears they might be an issue.
Has anyone, had similar experiences and is there a way to deal with it rather than not being able to wear them?
Thanks for any help.

Hi!

I recently refreshed the page about this, You can find it on the first page of the invisalign type braces page. I had a throat infection for a week and still I wake up every morning with a soar throat and swollen glands. I will speak with my ortho about this, when I go back..

Good luck to you! :-1
