Can Invisalign cause headaches?

The decision to wear Invisalign is often one of the best I have ever made. However, there are some side effects that come with wearing this dental device. Can Invisalign cause headaches?

Sinus pain can be a symptom of Sinusitis which is an infection of the sinuses. It’s characterized by facial swelling and pressure, as well as headaches and postnasal drip. If you experience these symptoms along with your headaches, it’s important to see your dentist or physician for further evaluation so that appropriate treatment can begin immediately to prevent complications from occurring later on.

Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help ease both types of pain (headaches and sinus pressure).

The good news is that this type of headache is related to clenching and myofascial pain disorder (MPD) .

The good news is that this type of headache is related to clenching and myofascial pain disorder (MPD).

What is myofascial pain disorder? MPD occurs when there are muscle knots or trigger points in your muscles. These tense spots cause a buildup of lactic acid, which causes pain and tenderness. If you experience these symptoms for over three months on a regular basis, you may have MPD.

What causes myofascial pain disorder? It’s likely that there are multiple factors that contribute to your MPD: genetics, lifestyle habits such as poor posture while working at a computer or smartphone, stress levels and even dental problems such as bruxism (also known as tooth grinding). Stress is one of the leading causes of these headaches because it can make them worse over time when untreated properly through treatment methods including physical therapy sessions with a licensed physical therapist who specializes in treating patients with chronic headaches caused by muscle tension issues like MPD.”

Your dentist will be able to recommend over the counter medications to deal with mild headaches and sinus pain, as well as providing expert advice on how best to use them.

If you are experiencing mild headaches and sinus pain, your dentist will be able to recommend over-the-counter medications to deal with it. They may also provide expert advice on how best to use these medications, depending on the nature of your symptoms.

For example, if a patient has mild headaches that are caused by dehydration and sinus blockage due to allergies, an antacid can help relieve these symptoms. If the patient is suffering from more severe headaches or chronic pain, however, then stronger prescription medication may be required in order for them to feel better again.

If your symptoms persist despite using any of these treatments from your dentist or using over-the-counter medications yourself then it’s recommended that you see them again as soon as possible so they can determine if something else might be wrong with you physically before making changes regarding treatment options available at their practice such as Invisalign aligners
