My tongue is constantly bleeding because of my aligner, what can I do?

Q. i have one particular tray in that\’s cutting into my tongue quite bad, my orthodontist said it\’ll be fine soon but it\’s already been 5 days and my tongue is constantly bleeding. Can i cut off some of the aligner myself?,

A. Please do not do any DIY on your aligner as you may end up damaging them and then may require new ones incurring some extra charge and delaying your treatment. I would suggest you ring your Invisalign dentist for advice.
