My ortho suggested I start wearing them again immediately from the last tray that fits. I haven't seen him yet because of office remodeling & a booked schedule, but I'd like to re-start wearing trays immediately as recommended to get back on track & finish. My question is, is it ok to re-start at tray 7 if I haven't worn ANYTHING for 18 mo? When I try 7 its tight & doesn't fit against my teeth/there's a huge gap, I don't want my teeth to "loosen," AND I lost trays 2-6. Best advice? Thank you!

Answer: Which Invisalign tray should you use to restart Invisalign treatment?
Unfortunately once the teeth move it’s not that easy to get
them back. You will have to consult with your orthodontist. You might be able
to go back few trays to realign them or
they might have to order some additional trays at this time.
Once your teeth are done moving the attachments can be
removed. If you are just in the stage where the teeth are being held you are
okay not having athacments.
Certainly any gap can be closed with
Invisalign. It’s just a matter of time and the process. The bigger the teeth
and provided you are comfortable with having attachments on these teeth, you
will be able to close that gap. Braces might work marginally faster but I guess
it’s a decision you hav...
