started out with wrong aligner

I just got invisalign 3 days ago- approx 3 hours after they extracted a lower front tooth! I handled it all well -the incentive to cover that missing tooth was all I needed. Here's the thing though- the ortho.asst. accidently put in the #3 aligner in on my bottom-OUCH!!! I thought it was just soreness from the extraction but we realized it later that evening when I was looking through all my aligner sets. Should I keep wearing the #3 or go back to the #1 ? It would be nice to have a jump start on closing that gap by keeping #3 in but don't want to cause any damage by skipping ahead!
THanks for any help you can give me!
