I wasn't allergic to anything that I know of, but my lips and gums got swollen with another company's impression material... I had to do them twice , but later tries I was very prepared to wash the area quickly, so it wasn't that bad... First time, my lip was cut at the border... Had to wait a week to repeat impressions with healthier lips... I am on step 1 now and I am not allergic to the aligners... At least yet... Just letting people know...
Im having the same issue when I changed to tray 4. Can you give me an update on your progress? Did it happen again for you or were you able to continue your treatment?
Hi Dr. Bailey. I began experiencing the same thing over the past two days and I’m wondering if you have any update on what came of this. My orthodontist says he’s never seen it happen
Have your orthodontist contact the health and safety team of the aligner company for help. There was a special preparation for the aligners that needed to be done.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
Any updates!? I’m going through this same thing!
Wow! Hope you’re ok! So, what did they say?
38m, i'm one week in and my gums and lips are swollen, finding this process really difficult

It happened to me 😢I had it installed one week ago, haven’t used any cleanser so I guess is a reaction to the plastic 🫠
It happened to my friend. Any update
