Asked By:emil1725 in West Salem, IL

I am on aligner 16 of 26 and l have noticed in the past few trays on a space on the bottom of my top aligner that one of my teeth is supposed to move down into, but it has not yet moved down and it's been 3 weeks. (It is the tooth by my front tooth) I don't want to fall behind on this one tooth and I'm not sure why it won't move down or if there's something I can do to make it move down. What should do you suggest?
