A bubble of space between my teeth and my invisible braces gets filled with noticeable spit. Is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:Sarahavery in Mansfield, TX

I think my dentist messed up my clear correct... From what I've seen invisible braces are supposed to be invisible and flat on the teeth. Mine are the opposite, on the front teeth(top and bottom) there is a bubble of empty space between my teeth and the plastic. This bubble fills with spit and makes it quite noticeable. So I was thinking he may have messed up on making the mold as he took the mold off. So is it normal to have the bubble and if not what do I do? The second set also has it... Do we need to redo everything?
