Before taking any steps, you should consult with your dentist. Tell him or her that you are fearful of an allergic reaction. Your dentist will have had some experience with the problem and can offer guidance on how to proceed. A plastic test would be the first step.
The dentist will ask you to take a small piece of the same material used in Invisalign® and, with a piece of tape, attach the plastic to your skin. Then, you’ll wear it for a few days. If your skin experiences a reaction, you have an allergy to the main substance in Invisalign® so, using the product could cause problems. If your skin doesn’t react to the plastic, you’re among the overwhelming majority of people who have no issues with Invisalign®. You shouldn’t try this test without supervision from your dentist, though.
Your dentist is unlikely to recommend the removal of Invisalign® to test for allergies. The explanation for this is that you’ll reset the effort of straightening your teeth if you don’t wear the product for a few days. A dentist will only suggest this option if he or she is worried about a serious allergy.
