Will my teeth go back to the right alignment if I keep wearing them now?

Invisalign trays not fitting well
You have said you moved ahead a bit quickly and now the trays do not fit ideally. Always follow your Dentist / Orthodontist's advice as to when to proceed to the next tray..

Invisalign offers a lot of versatility when these things occur, so do not worry; there is an easy solution.
