My bottom set of aligners don’t seem to fit properly, what should I do?

Q.

Hello, I’m currently on my second tray of invisalign. I wore the first set for four weeks, but the top tray didn’t fit on my front teeth after the four weeks while the bottom fit fine. With the second set I got attachments. The bottom tray fits, but I’m having the same problem with the top tray. I’m supposed to wear this set for three weeks. Should I be worried that my top tray doesn’t fit? It’s just the four front teeth that don’t go all the way onto the tray and you can see the gap between the tray and the teeth.

Is there anyway to shorten the treatment time of my Invisalign braces?

August 5th, 2011
Q.

hello doctor,

i have started wearing my aligners and it has been about 4 weeks so am stll on my second aligner. There was a point with the first aligner, where is wasn’t becoming as loose as the dentist told me it would and i wondered if i could do anything to ensure that the brace is working at its optimum level. My friend has told me about some mouth guard thing, i think it is called exceldent or something that speeds up the action of braces. Have you come across it and would you recommend it?

thank you
