I have a question about my Invisalign express sets. You're suppose to be putting a new set every two weeks, but I've kinda been putting them on a little faster.The only thing I can really think of why they don't want you to be changing them so quickly is because your teeth are moving quicker, therefore it can be more painful.My teeth are looking great! But is there a certain reason why I shouldn't be changing them so quickly? I know it's Invisalign express so it won't take long, but I'm one of those guys that likes to see quick results. Thanks.
