Can I go on to my next Invisalign tray after less than 2 weeks, if my teeth fit in it?

It seems that after about a week, my teeth have moved and will fit in the next tray. Is there any disadvantage to moving through the trays faster and replacing each tray after a week?

A: You must wear each invisalign tray for 2 weeks minimum

Jennifer Jablow, DDS

Your invisalign treatment is planned on movement that you wear each tray for a minimum of two weeks. Movement that is forced or too fast does not allow the bone to properly remodel and you can end up with problems. Sometimes you may need to wear them longer than two weeks, but never less

It's safest to wear the aligners for a minimum of two weeks. I could feel very little force from the Invisalign aligners after about 10 days but wore mine for two weeks each. Why take the risk on an expensive treatment? http://www.invisalignresults.com/
