What can the dentist do about the filling that has broken when i’m under-going Invisalign?

Q. Hey, i had a filling put in before my invisalign and it was a large one, anyway the aligners were made to fit perfectly with the filling in. now the tooth with the filling in has broken and i don\’t want it to stop my invisalign treatment but i\’ll have to won\’t i? what can they do about it? thanks for your time,
A. If you have the large filling removed and a smaller one put in (either final or temporary), you should be able to continue with the treatment until you come to the end of the aligners. Once you are at the end, then you could have the filling re-done so it is back to its normal (large) size or have a inlay/onlay or crown made.
