What is the purpose in waiting two weeks between aligners when it is obvious the teeth move into new position quicker than that?

Andrew,
Yes, your teeth will move into position within a few days of wearing your Invisalign aligners. I know it is tempting to think you can finish treatment even sooner if you put on the new aligners as soon as your teeth move. However, this is dangerous.
When your teeth move into mosition you need to allow time for your bone to develop around the root in its new position. If you don’t allow that time, then your teeth lose their support and will end up coming loose.
Typically, Invisalign treatment is completed in half the time of traditional braces. You won’t have to wait too long to be finished.
