Can I shorten the time between each aligner change?

Q. why do i hav 2 wait a cuple of wks between each fitting of brace when i think they go in easily and fit ok. can my ortho change it so that im not waring braces for as long overall.,

A. Even though it may feel like the brace is not doing anything, you need to allow time for the bone to remodel around each tooth before moving on the the next brace. By moving forward too quickly can be detrimental to the health of your teeth.
