Switching Invisalign Trays Every 10-11 Days Instead of 14?
It seems like I have very little soreness after putting in my new Invisalign aligners. I feel the pressure the first couple days, but after that, the trays just pop in and out very easily. The 2 week switching period seems like it would be an average period suitable for the general population. Would it be alright if I asked my orthodontist to try out 10-11 days per set instead of 2 weeks? I would sign any waivers if they are worried about liability.

Please don't do that!!!
Each aligner has a prescribed movement programmed in it. Soreness does not always correlated with movement of teeth. There is also a settlement period there where the movement is stabilized.
In orthodontics "slow is fast" !!!!!!! The slower the movement, the more predictable and stable (long term) will be the result.
Please do not rush the treatment as it will relapse (research has proved it!).
