| Aligner 25 of 28 - Attachments are off |
Well, I've made it to aligner 25 of 28. The last 3 aligners of treatment, 26 -28 are I'm told "spacers" which apparently close remaining spaces between teeth after all movement has taken place. I'm not 100% happy with my results - I feel as though my front teeth still protrude slightly, and the two teeth beside my front teeth need to rotate more to sit flush with my front teeth (rather than slightly behind as the do right now). With that being said, my dentist agreed and during my last visit, he took my attachments off and took new measurements (same gooey molds as we did right at the start) in order to do case refinements.Case refinements aren't that unusual, although I did hope that I would be one of the lucky ones that wouldn't need them. Still, I would prefer to get the best possible results from the Invisalign product, so happy to go through the process of refinements. There's a 4 week wait for the refinement aligners to arrive - I will continue wearing aligner 25 until then. At this stage, i have no idea how many refinement aligners I will require (my dentist said it can range from 5-14), but will keep you posted on my progress!
