My aligner feels loose already, should I be worried?

Q.
Hi Doctors

i am on the third stage of my invisalign and have been wearing them for about a week and the aligner is already starting to feel loose. Is this an indication that I should be onto the next stage or could something be wrong with the aligner? I plan to go to my dentist next week but i’d just like some info before hand.

thanks very much for your time

Hi,
I am sure you can appreciate that this question is extremely difficult for me to answer without assessing you clinically.
I would simply recommend that you take this up with your Invisalign provider sooner rather than later.
Depending upon which teeth are being manipulated by an aligner at any given time, it is possible that certain aligners can feel more loose more quickly during their two week wear time.
I am sure your clinician will be able to identify if there is any form of problem and deal with it accordingly.
Hopefully there will be nothing for you to worry about!
Best wishes
