Invisalign® is a convenient and nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth — but for it to work effectively, your aligners need to fit and track properly. If they’re not fitting the way they should, your treatment could slow down or even stall.
In this short video, Anna from our team at Sacks Orthodontics explains how to check if your aligners are on track — and what to do if something seems off.
If you're more of a reader, here’s a breakdown of what our team covers in the video:
When your Invisalign trays are fitting properly, they should sit snugly against your teeth — almost like a second skin. Here’s how to check your fit:
The most important sign to look for is a visible gap between your aligner and your tooth. Even if the gap is small or only shows up in one spot, it can mean that your aligners aren’t tracking properly.
It might seem minor, but a small gap can throw off your treatment plan. If you notice even a slight space between the tray and your teeth, it’s worth checking in with us.
