I live in Idaho & my orthodontist lives in Maine. I switch out my trays every week. When I first got my invisalign I did really well with wearing them but now that I'm on tray 11 of 22 for my top I wear my trays about 14hours a day. Tray 10 was kind of tight but loosened, tray 11 was very tight when I put it on last night & my teeth hurt this morning. I took them out today & when I put them back in they were tighter than last night. Idk if I messed up my treatment or if this normal.
