Should Invisalign Aligners Fully Cover Each Tooth? (photo)

Asked By:mambaworld

I'm on my first set of aligners and I noticed that for my snaggle tooth, the plastic covers less than half of the front of the tooth (see pic). It's pretty visible from close range. Is this normal? I recall my dentist having to retake my top mold a few times because of trouble with that same tooth. Should I ask for new molds and aligners?
