It seems that after about a week, my teeth have moved and will fit in the next tray. Is there any disadvantage to moving through the trays faster and replacing each tray after a week?

Answer: Moving Up To The Next Aligner New Invisalign protocols state that you CAN change the aligners weekly. If your previous aligner stills has a tight fit after a week, I recommend wearing it for an additional week before advancing to the next aligner.

Answer: Always follow your dentist's advice Invisalign recently changed their protocol from a minimum of 2-weeks per aligner to now being able to wear each aligner only 1 week. That being said, you always want to follow your dentist's advice on how long you should wear each aligner. Trying to rush the movement may actually have negative consequences. The bone around teeth needs time to heal throughout the movement, and if movement happens too rapidly, it can cause root resorption (meaning the tooth starts to dissolve/shorten on the root side). Always consult with your dentist before you make any changes to the agreed treatment plan.
