Can Invisalign cause mouth sores?

I wear Invisalign and have mouth sores. Can Invisalign cause mouth sores?

Potentially yes. 

In rare circumstances, the laser cut precision aligners can have a rough edge that needs to be smoothed down. Your dental professional can smooth it and also show you how to resolve that issue from home.
It is possible that you may get "mouth sores" with Invisalign, but not too likely. Usually sores in the mouth while doing Invisalign are caused by poor oral hygiene or biting on tissue as the teeth are moved. Have your dental provider check these areas to rule out the trays are causing the issue.
They can if the trays are over extended.
