Question

As always, it's important to contact your orthodontist or Invisalign provider to keep them updated regarding your treatment.  They will have the best information as they are treating your case. 
That said, chewies may help seat the aligner better. If there is no improvement after about 5-7 days, definitely contact your treating doctor for the best course of action. 
Hope this helps!

The air gap at the bottom of the aligner usually means that the aligner is not fitting well, or even the misfit is causing the tooth to be pushed upwards. At aligner 3 it is very unusual and I would ask your dentist to have another look.
