Q. Hello I\’m coming to the end of my invisalign treatment and it has been very easy. However I only have one more aligner to go (I\’m on number 7 of 8) and I can\’t see how the teeth are going to quite move to the required position as shown from in the computer images. There has been good movement but I am concerned that the end result won\’t be what was shown to me. If this is the case, what happens? Incidentally, prior to having the treatment, I saw two specialists. The first gave me an estimated time period of 12-15 months. The one I actually went with didn\’t quote a time period but when the invisalign programme came back it quoted only 6 months (8 aligners). Why the discrepency? Could I have been given sectional treatment instead. Both quotes were within £300. Thank you for your help.,
A. You will probably need to have some more impressions taken for some new aligners to be made to get your teeth into a position that you want them. This process is called a case refinement. This shouldn\’t usually be at an additional cost to you. The number of aligners depends on how much they need to move or how much you want them to move.
