Mostly due to laziness and failing to wear my retainers, my bottom teeth have shifted. Not as bad as they were when I began treatment, but enough that I know I need to do something. I have started wearing my old aligners, starting with one that almost fits the shape of my teeth now.
I am concerned, is this dangerous to move through the aligner process without the help of my orthodontist? I do not have the money to go back and pay again for this process, so I am hopeful that using my aligners will correct this problem.

I would recommend asking your invisalign doctor, but here are my thoughts. If the crack is not that bad and you can still wear the invisalign tray then I would keep wearing it until day 14.
If the crack has completely spilt the tray such that it is unwearable, and you are on day 11 of day 14...
Invisalign is not very effective in pulling down teeth as with traditional braces. Cases with an open bite are better treated with traditional braces as opposed to Invisalign.
Your treatment plan was a contract between you and your dentist to exchange an agreed amount of money for completed treatment. Your dentist has already paid Invisalign for the entire treatment and done the majority of the work even though you are only half way through treatment.
Do the right...
