Q.
Hi, I started invisalign 2 years ago to correct some wonky teeth at the top and bring forward one bottom tooth at the front which was behind the others. I had 33 aligned for the top and 25 for the bottom. Although my teeth looked better (but not perfect after the first course) I was unable to bite my back teeth together and so I was offered a course of refiners – a further 9 for the bottom and 15 for the top. I am just on my last top refiner but still my back teeth appear to be nowhere near meeting. Plus my top teeth are still not in a smooth curve at the front with one of my front teeth slightly forward of the other. I am worried as the first set of refiners did not correct my bite (which was fine before I started any treatment) and I am still not happy with the overall appearance of my teeth.

What are my options, what should I be saying to my dentist in 2 weeks?
Thanks,

the back teeth may not be meeting because as you wear Invisalign, you can push these teeth into the gum, away from each other. Normally over time and by not wearing Invisalign, the teeth will erupt together. As for the crowding, you should be entitled to 1 more refinement and these issues should be addressed
