Yes: Your teeth will move a little in the day without Invisalign. This should be no big issue. Your next set will just be a little tighter than usual. A little Advil should help..

Not that fast: I'm sure your dentist can assure you this will not be a problem.

Lost Ortho Aligners: Good day; I don't believe there will be dramatic shift of the involved teeth for such a short time. However, our patients are charged additional fees if aligners are lost and require replacement.
