I started getting lazy with wearing my trays all the time. I know I shouldn't have! But the following trays seemed to fit fine so I assumed everything would still work out, but i just started my 7th tray(out of 8) and they don't seem to be fitting as properly anymore. I can still put them on fine, but it seems to be slipping a little on the right side of two of my teeth and not perfectly aligned with my gums in that area. Will my teeth go back to the right alignment if I keep wearing them now?

Answer: If Invisalign aIigners are not fitting properly, you may need to backtrack
Hi- I would recommend that you wear your invisalign trays about 21-22 hours a day and then switch them every 2 weeks. If you are wearing them only 18 hours a day, then I would recommend switching aligner trays every 2 1/2 weeks.
It is important to talk with your invisalign doctor...
It should be okay if the back tooth isn't fitting properly, as long as the other teeth fit well. I would continue to bite down on it and once the material softens a little, the fit should be better. The movement from invisalign is more likely occurring on your front...
