Possibly from both. Have your dentist evaluate it. And if still it persists see your doc for a test

HPV virus is found in back of mouth, base of tongue and tonsils. A canker sore is what you have from irritation of Invisalign and acid from raw tomatoes. The sore will go away with an adjustment of the appliance and less acid from no more tomatoes. Go to pharmacy for OTC medication.
