Can my teeth move in 2 weeks?

ginadavisMay 17, 2015
I started Invisalign treatment 2 weeks ago. Is it possible for my jaw line to become narrow in this short time? My ortho staff did ITERO pics, and told me to go back in 4 weeks for the trays. Have not seen my Ortho since the initial consult visit. I have a small narrow mouth (deep palate) and crowed teeth. Will my smile become narrow to make space for my teeth? My ortho is a away for the next two weeks and I am so worried that my jaw line is becoming narrow to accommodate my teeth.

As long as you have been good for most of your treatment one day of leaving the tray off should not affect things too much. You just want to make sure that you go back to wearing the tray as soon as you can and keep it for at least few days prior to beginning the new set.

You should wear your last aligner just at night while waiting for refinement, especially if they already took impressions or did a scan for your refinement.  Do not want the teeth to relapse, but not necessary to wear for 22 hours to prevent that.
