My Invisalign trays don't fit properly. Is it okay? (Photo)

Question

I'm on my Invisalign tray one and I'm supposed to change trays on Friday. But I'm scared that the trays I'm currently wearing don't fit properly.. The tray dosen't go all the way down everywhere. My orthodontist didn't really say anything about how they were supposed to fit so I'm not sure if it's okey that they don't go all the way down? I have been using the chewies but the first couple of days I couldn't bite down properly on my front teeth because they were so sore.

Hello there,Based on your photos, it appears that your trays are adequately covering your teeth.  If you are questioning the fit of your trays, then the best advice I can give you is to communicate with your orthodontist about your concerns.  He/she knows the specifics of your case and can answer any questions that you may have. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDSt. Louis, MO area (O'Fallon, IL)Real Self 100

Invisalign trays should be flush with teeth.  Sometimes in crowding cases the tray does not fit the same on all teeth but after wearing them for a while they can fit better.  Ask your dentist about your concerns if you feel something is off.  Hope that helps!  Good Luck!
