Don't self diagnose: The treating Dentist or specialist Orthodontist sees many details that you do not. Follow all instructions to the letter for optimum results. If you do not the teeth will not track properly, and you will have a compromised result and less post-treatment stability. Discuss your concerns with your practitioner.

Discuss this first!: You should discuss this with your provider BEFORE you do anything. In some cases, what you're suggesting is possible and effective; in other cases, this leads to complications and can actually increase the time & expense of your treatment.

Follow directions: The aligners are designed to move your teeth incrementally without causing damage to the supporting bone. Deviating from the recommended treatment time can cause problems and jeopardize the final result. Follow your dentist's directions.

It is important: to wear all the aligner sets in order and for as long as you were told. Otherwise your teeth will get out of sequence with the aligner and you might have to start over.
