On the first day I got my Invisalign my dentist did an IPR between my two front teeth, and it left a pretty big gap. I was told that the gap would close within weeks and it would go back to normal. However, there is still a gap. My right front tooth is clearly straight, but the left front tooth is definitely crooked. Why does it look this way? Did my dentist perhaps botch my left front tooth while doing IPR? And if so, how can my dentist fix this? I'm almost finished with tray 27/30.

Hello,Tongue thrust is one of the most common reasons for an open bite. Invisalign may correct the open bite in most likely 1.5-2 years. As far as the cost of invisalign, the treatment fee for Invisalign is the same and in most cases more than braces. Most offices do offer free consultations ...
Your pain could be from a number of causes-from decay, to infection, to trauma, to improper fit of the retainers, to bite issues--the most likely is the retainer or the bite alignment.A simple test is to wear your last set of aligners as a retainer fro 2-7 days and see if the discomfort reduces....
You definitely should not drink lemon water due to it being acidic. If you must drink it, drink after removing the invisalign trays or drink using a straw and drink some water or rinse/brush after to insure it doesn't stay on your teeth or aligners.
