Invisalign was NOT designed to wear while eating. That being said, if you are in public, and do not wish to remove the invisalign aligner with the false tooth, then be very careful and eat only SOFT foods. Make sure you remove the aligner as soon as possible after the meal in order to rinse it...
Invisalign is an orthodontic technique just like regular braces. If you give braces to someone who does not know how to use them, you will find that your won't end up with straight teeth. The same applies to Invisalign.

You are referring to the Itero machine that will scan your mouth in lieu of taking impressions. The scan is normally very accurate but you can certainly need a mid course correction when the trays do not fit any longer. Your next treatment should be fine.
