Tray not snug on one side where I have a wisdom tooth, should I be concerned? I just started tray 1 of 10 trays and am on day 5. The trays are very snug except on my bottom right in the back where I still have that wisdom tooth.
It stands up a tad higher than my neighboring molars and the tray doesn't cover it completely. It's not quite snug and has a little spring to it. I'm worried it will affect my movement. When I told my orthodontist on the 1st day about it not being snug he said it should fix itself in the first few days but it hasn't. Should I be concerned?

Answer: Cutting the tray may not be the best solution
Align Technology (makers of Invisalign) recommends NOT treating any patient using Invisalign who has symptoms of TMJ. Changing the way a patient bites can indeed increase symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction. I would be VERY careful allowing any dentist or orthodontist to move your teeth if they...
Orthodontics of any kind can work when teeth are crowned, but the advantage with Invisalign is that we likely don't need to worry about a bracket "debonding" from the crown. Invisalign may work very well in this case.
Thank you for a great question.
It usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on the difficulty of the case. Often even less.
