I am on Tray 14 of my invisalign treatment. My teeth movement has been great so far, but now I have noticed that my right canine and both lateral incisors are not moving into place. The reason I got invisalign was to bring down my right canine. It has come down a lot, but I am very worried that it is no longer moving. The picture shown is after week one of Tray 14. Should I be worried? Should I wear this aligner longer until it fits tightly, even if it takes longer than 2 weeks?
