Is it possible to be allergic to my braces?

Rare: It's possible but VERY rare. Rare allergies to nickel or latex have been reported. The next step you take should be to schedule an examination wit an Allergist.

Allergic to my brace: Many people do not know it, but they could be allergic to braces. Nickel-free braces have gained popularity as a viable alternative for patients who are allergic to nickel. Ask your orthodontist for more information.
