Invisalign: My lower tray is not all the way down on my back teeth. Is this normal?

Question

I am on tray 8 now but I am able to take my lower tray off just by using my tongue and popping it off. The reason why it is so easy to take it off is because it does not go all the way down on my lower back left side of my teeth. Should I go talk to my orthodontist about this or is it normal? My top tray fits perfect it's just my lower tray doesn't go all the way down on my teeth anymore.

Hello,
It happens some times but you need to have trays that do not fall off and go all the way down on the teeth.  Make an appointment with your Orthodontist ASAP.  Good Luck!

I would go back to your orthodontist and have them take a look.  You may need to wear your previous tray for a bit longer before you are ready for the current tray you are on.  You could also have a defective tray.  If you have worn tray 8 for approximately 2 weeks already, you could try tray 9 to see if it goes down all the way on the left side.  Good luck!
