Is my Invisalign fitting right? (Photo)

Question

I just started Invisalign today and noticed the gap between the top of the trays and my gums it doesn't cover my whole tooth. Also I have space at the Invisalign edges of the trays. The fit is really snug and the attachments seem to be in the correct place I can't push them up any further. The template was this way as well. I guess I was expecting this to be a little less noticeable. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for asking the question and as per your image it seems invisalign trays are not properly adjust. So you should get back to your dentist and ask him or her for the solution.

Emery Cole, DMD, FAGD · Answer

Occasionally you may notice some voids in the fit of aligners, almost always on front teeth.  These are present to allow the tooth to move into the void and into it's new straighter position.  These will be automatically generated by the aligner software program.  Your Invisalign dentist might suggest you use "Chewies"  to aid in the seating of tight aligners and increased movement of your teeth.  If you need them, they will let you know.
