After two weeks of treatment my Invisalign braces feel loose, causing me a lisp. What should I do?

Q. hello…i have just started wearing invisalign braces and have now had them for 2 weeks and wondered if its normal for them to be loose. my bottom set fit fine but the top set seem to move causing me to spit and lisp…not very attractive! my top two teeth are slightly crossed and tend to slant backwards so wondered if this was the cause. its making me quite unhappy as i try not to speak too much as i know i’ll be speaking funny and its so obvious…i feel like i’m wearing badly fitting dentures!my sister got hers fitted a week after mine and hers fit snugly and she speaks fine…you would never know shes wearing them. hope you can answer this for me before i go back to see my dentist. thank you,
A. Thank you for your enquiry. I would advise you to go back to your Dentist who is doing the treatment for you. After about two weeks of wearing them they tend to feel a bit looser than when you first start wearing them and than after two weeks you should be moving on to a new set.
