Shape of my aligner

Hi all,
I had my third trays a week ago and when I wore from the first time I noticed that there was a little gap between one of my tooth and the the top of the lower tray. Is this because my tooth will move within the 2 weeks so it will fill the space or it's just a tray that didn't come out very well?

Thanks!

Hi, I think thats pretty normal, a lot of mine do that, I will ask my dentist next time but everything is moving according to plan so far. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

I just went to the dentist today and he told that the gap is because my tooth didn't move as was suppose to move

He told me that most probably I have to interrupt my treatment and start with refinements otherwise the other trays will not fit well

I'm only on the tray 4 since today

Did he offer you the option of going back or wearing it a bit longer? Sometimes some teeth just need a bit more time.... That seems very early in treatment to be talking about teeth not moving, but I suppose your dentist knows your teeth best.

My dentist told me that as long as the attachments are fitting in is ok for now but definitely tray #3 and tray #4 have a small gap between one of my tooth and the aligner itself. He said that most probably they don't have enough space to move since they are really crocked

in that specific spot.
He even told me to push very hard the trays when I wear it and sometimes do a strong bite so the aligner is in the right position...why he didn't tell me this since the begin!!?
