Should Invisalign buttons disrupt my normal bite? My first left the practice and this disrupted my treatment.

Asked By:Lmsand

Top teeth are done and I just started with tray 1 of 7 for bottom revision plan to finish. New buttons were added to bottom teeth. I cannot bite properly because the buttons (left cuspid) is hitting the top (left lateral incisor) not allowing me to bite down. My Dentist said if he brings the button down we lose the effectiveness. I did not have any issues like this with the first 23 aligners. I am concerned that I am going to chip or fracture my teeth plus I cannot eat.
