My Invisalign tray has space at the bottom. Is this normal? (Photo)

Question

My dentist took off the attachments off my teeth. Is it normal for my Invisalign to look like this.

Pamela Steiger, DMD · Answer

There is too much space between the tooth and the inside of the Invisalign tray. There also should be an attachment on that tooth for it to work properly. I would see your Orthodontist to address this. You may need to do a "refinement" of the Invisalign treatment in order to re-gain a good fit on that tooth.

Kenneth A. Barton, DDS · Answer

This is not good. In order for your aligners  to properly move that tooth, the fit should be perfect. The  fault is either you are not wearing your aligners  religiously, each and every day , or do to a defect in your aligner fabrication. in either event, see your orthodontist asap.
