Should the Clear Correct aligner trays fit snugly to the teeth and gums to be effective?

Wednesday15
I am on my 3rd tray of Clear Correct aligners. The bottom tray fis snugly on my teeth and gums, however thre is space between the aligner and my gums on the upper tray. Does this have negative implications for the effectiveness of the straightening process? My treating orthodontist states that the space in the upper tray is necessary for the straightening to occur. Is this a plausible answer? Thanks!
