Ill-fitting Invisalign Tray on Wisdom Tooth

February 27, 2009
Asked By:Dollyj78 in springfield, va

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?
