My Aligners Won’t Fit?!

Q.
Hello, Doctor Thorne I hope you can give me some advice. and I have been using the Invisalign teen for a while now and so far nothing has gone wrong, I’ve had no problems with any of the aligners or with my teeth in general. I was on number fifteen of sixteen of the aligners and I was supposed to change my trays to number sixteen on the top teeth but when I went to change them over, I could not get the sixteen to fit on my teeth! What do you think I should do about it and what will my orthodontist have to do about it? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, I look forward to reading your response

Hello, I would revert back to your aligner 15 and continue to wear this so your teeth don’t ‘slip’. I would then suggest you make an appointment with your orthodontist as soon as possible taking aligners 15 and 16 to them. Your orthodontist will then be able to see what the course is and see why number 16 is not fitting.
Good luck
