Can braces cause bad sinus?

[Simon Launder]

Hi Guys,

I'm on my 6th month of having braces. Standard self-ligating braces. It's Friday - i saw my Orthodontist on Tuesday and my wires went up a size/strength - I've notice almost an instant shift in my teeth (upper jaw) - however i feel like I have flu like symptoms. I have a post nasal drip, sinus congestion and a runny nose. Otherwise i feel fine. Is there any known relation between braces and teeth movement affecting your sinuses?? I am also due to have my lower jaw broken and realigned in 8 to 12 months - could my overbite make things worse?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Can someone let me know?

Thanks
