Invisalign is not fitting my front teeth, can this be fixed? (Photo)

Question

The past few weeks I’ve been busy with school and haven’t paid attention to my invisalign. I change every 2 weeks and use the propel machine for 5 mins every right and noticed that my bottom teeth fit fine but there is a gap on my front teeth so I went two aligners back on my front teeth and still notice a gap. Is this fixable with chewies and propel or do I have to get new aligners??

I am a big fan and provider of accelerated orthodontics with Propel , VPRO5, acceledent and other means depending on case.  unfortunately, these accelerated option like propels VPRO5 only works with excellent compliance.  Life gets busy and sometimes we fall behind on our commitments.  In this case based on your photo I would not suggest going back 2 aligners but rather return to your dentist for evaluation and for new scans/molds to be taken for a “ mid course correction”.Good luck

I would suggest to see your dentist asap. I don't think you should try to fix any thing. Your dentist most probably need to take a correction impression. Good luck!
