Thank you for posting your question.  Wearing an Invisalign aligner too long should not cause any problems.  Move on to the next aligner and let your dentist know.  Try to keep changing the aligners on time so that you can finish sooner rather then later.  Hope this helps.  Good Luck!

Yes, it is absolutely okay to change your aligner one night earlier as long as you have worn it enough hours for the time you had to and as long as you don't make it to a habit of changing others earlier every time.
