Will Invisalign help with food getting stuck between teeth

Question

I am on tray 11 (out of 28). Then I’ll get 40+ more. It’s a 14 months treatment in total. The biggest reason why I started Invisalign is that every time after I eat, food gets stuck between my teeth. To an extent that it’s sometimes painful and I have to floss after every meal/snack to make sure they wouldn’t hurt my teeth and gum. I am hoping that Invisalign would solve this problem.

Now, that I am doing the treatment and my teeth are moving . This causes even more things to get stuck between my teeth.

I have been seeing a lot of people here saying they are done with the treatment and now food gets stuck even more between their teeth compared to before. Sounds like their teeth were crowded before and now the gaps cause this. however, I am curious about the other cases like mine where people’s teeth were already straight enough with some minor gaps but food were getting stuck.

I wanted to check if anyone else had a good experience with food getting stuck after they finished their treatment. If not, I am curious if there are other ways to solve this problem. I would be really disappointed if invisalign doesn’t eliminate this problem after the treatment is done. Given the money and effort that I/we all spend.

thank you!
