Q.
I am on tray 11 of my invisalign treatment. I will be wearing this tray for 3 weeks and then going in for my refinement appointment. I am very worried to get the refinement impressions done at this point because one of my lower front teeth is very loose. I can feel it move quite a bit when I eat. I’m worried that it might get pulled out or damaged when they pull off the impression. Should I ask my dentist to wait to do the refinement and just wear the temporary retainer he ordered for a few more weeks first? So that would be 3 weeks with this tray and then a few more weeks with the retainer before getting impressions done. Or will 3 weeks be enough to strengthen the tooth?

Dear Sir/Madam,
the teeth will reduce in mobility with time; it may be better to wait a few weeks before taking impressions. The impression should not extract your tooth.
The wearing of an aligner for longer than 3 weeks is fine.
