My first Invisalign tray feels very loose but my second tray is not even close to fitting, yet it has been 13 days. Advice?

there is saliva getting caught under the tray which is causing me to have to make a "sucking" sound many times throughout the day ( it's driving me nuts. Not to mention it's embarassing. this is how I know the tray is loose but i cannot fit the second tray on yet. I feel absolutely not pressure on my teeth anymore.

In my opinion the distance that canine must be moved is probably better for conventional brackets and wires ( braces) - not invisalign. You should go for at least 2 consultations to see what they tell you.

As you clearly stated, you already had periodontal issues, and gum recession before treatment began. You also state that you are just a little past halfway done with your programmed aligner schedule. You cannot be concerned about where teeth are currently. They will continue to move and change....
