I just had 4 teeth extracted on Tuesday, I need to start my invisalign trays. When should I try to put them in?

The teeth needed to be extracted before I could start my treament. The Othrodontist said "immediately", but I fear the trays may allow bacteria to gather in the open wounds and a possible infection may occur. Is this correct or am I being ridiculous?
