“Question about Invisalign ”
So I got an invisalign Treatment for like 3 months and I had alot of space between my teeth but it closed and I went to my appointment today and my aligners won’t arrive till next month so I’m not wearing any aligners and I realized that the space is kinda getting bigger so I was wondering after I’m done with the treatment is my teeth going back to normal?

You are absolutely supposed to stay in the last aligner until your new ones arrive! Contact your Dr's office asap!.
If you already started Invisalign treatment, Im not sure why youre waiting for your aligners. Invisalign delivers all of your aligners to your doctor all at once unless you are referring to a retainer or a replacement aligner. With that said, you should be wearing the last aligner you have while you are waiting for your aligners. This will keep your teeth from relapsing. After you are completely finished with Invisalign or any type of orthodontic treatment, you must wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their corrected position. Follow your doctors retainer protocol.

Please wear your last aligner until the new ones arrive to avoid relapse. You could also call your orthodontist to make you a temporary retainer until your aligners arrive.
After treatment is completed you need to get retainers to be worn daily as per your orthodontist's recommendation to avoid any relapse.
