Why Did my Invisalign Crack?

maximu
I'm using Invisalign teen, and one of my aligners is starting to crack near the gum line, between two teeth. It also has colored spots/wear indicators that fell off after three days. The orthodontist suggested that I may be clenching my teeth at night, but I have never noticed it if I do. What could have caused it to crack?
