I noticed recently that an attachment was missing from a tooth. After getting it back on, the tooth is no longer "tracking" and the aligner is not fitting all the way down. The ortho said to watch it for now. How likely is it that this tooth can get back on track without me having to get new aligners?

Answer: When teeth stop tracking new digital scans should be taken
You should not feel excessive pain on any tooth with invisalign perhaps this tooth is having a "problem" . Have your general dentist take an x-ray film . As far as invisalign is concerned it should not remove any bridge work unless this bridgework has become defective
Hello Gina,It is unlikely that your teeth have visibly moved in only two weeks. You may just be paying more attention to your teeth now, but visible movement would not occur this quickly. Whether smile will be more narrow to accommodate your teeth is hard to tell without seeing...
As long as you have been good for most of your treatment one
day of leaving the tray off should not affect things too much. You just want to
make sure that you go back to wearing the
tray as soon as you can and keep it for at least few days prior to beginning
the new set.
