I'm only 3 weeks into treatment (2nd tray)& my bottom teeth were visually perfect. In fact, the ortho offered to only put invisalign on my top teeth. But we decided to correct by class II division II bite & that required putting invisalign on my bottom teeth. Now 3 weeks into treatment, I have too much space in btw my bottom teeth. Does this all come together in the end? I'm just worried that this is not supposed to be happening. thanks
