Asked By:reves123 in Ash Flat, AR

I went to my first fitting to get my first Invisalign; five days later I notice they inserted fitting number 3. They skipped the first two by mistake and place the 3rd fittin instead of the first. My theeth hurt a lot the first 4 days. Can this error damage my theeth in the future?
