Help I really need advice

OK I really do not know what to do. I went for 2 consults with 2 different Orthodontists. Both agree that Invisalign is best for me because of poor enamel development.

Re: Skipping one set of tray as per ortho

I would maybe have your othodontist call the company and make sure your tray wasn't made in error..b/c if it was maybe your other ones could be faulty as well even if they fit
