I Needed a Root Canal but Ignored the Fact. I Am on my 2nd Week of Invisalign and my Tooth Hurts. Should I Wait a Whole Year?

6 months ago my Dentist suggested I had a cavity that needed to be removed but could possibly lead to a root canal. I was in no pain so I decided to wait. A few weeks ago, I went to a different Dental office for Invisalign. I am now on my 2nd week of tray 1 but in pain (occasionally). I am on tray 1 out of 34 :/ If I wait a whole year would I cause more damage? Would I mess up the aligners and/or Invisalign procedure if I get my root canal?
