Worried about root resorption after Clear Aligners. Any suggestions?

Mary Z.
I am 49 and just started ortho work with clear aligners after a relapse of treatment as a teen. I had the first tray put in this past Friday and by Sunday morning I had to remove the tray due to horrible pain. I spoke with my ortho this morning and he said to just put tge tray back in. I'm worried that i've caused irreversible root damage by leaving the tray off for over 24 hours and then putting it vack on. How long does it take for root resorption to happen and should i be worried?
