Does Invisalign cause cavities?

It’s a simple question. A question I would like to put to you, any experienced or new Invisalign users. I’ve just discovered my 5th cavity in the space of a year, since starting Invisalign. One or two cavities I could have put down to coincidence, maybe even three, however, five in a year just seems odd. I’ve done some research on the internet, as you do when these things happen, and I’ve found other people to have similar problems to me, they’ve discovered cavities whilst on Invisalign. I know the warnings are there, that you should take care of your teeth, and I do. I clean, floss and try to look after my teeth, but still I have these cavities. Other people have reported up to eight cavities since starting Invisalign.

So I wanted to ask opinion here, and see if anyone else has come across a similar problem to me, a similar problem that cavities seem to be a serious side affect of Invisalign. I know it’s a warning, but a very serious one that I think people don’t take into consideration when chosing orthodontic treatment.

Anyway, I just wanted to put that one out there to see what reactions I get. It could all be coincidence and I could be unlucky, as could a lot of other people…
