2nd Tray on Top Isn't Fitting Right. What To Do?

Since this is just your second tray, the lack of fit may be due to an aligner insertion issue. In some patients the aligner has to be manipulated around crooked teeth to allow full seating. Perhaps your doctor made an adjusment to the first tray that needs to be repeated for the second one? Alternatively, the edge of the plastic may have doubled over on a neighboring tooth, preventing full seating. In rare cases an individual aligner may be distorted, in which case the number three could fit just fine. When you see your doctor be sure to bring both your number one, two and three trays, so they can compare the fit. Good luck!

If a tray is not fitting properly you should consult with your orthodontist. However, sometimes a tray will not grip a certain tooth fully until a particular movement is accomplished. I recommend using “chewies” to my patients when they insert their aligners. This helps tremendously in the seating of trays. On occasion there could also be an Invisalign laboratory error that might result in a tray fitting improperly. In that case, a new tray can be ordered from Invisalign by your orthdontist.
