After almost completing the full Invisalign tray treatment, I am wearing #15's (17 trays total for upper and lowers) but specifically for a front tooth that was pushed up into the gum, from crowding of other teeth. So, my front tooth still has not come down all the way to be levelled with my other front tooth. The dentist said I would need a "refinement." What does that involve? More impressions? And, will I have to pay $6,800 again, as I don't have the funds.
A refinement is usually included in a full case. These are cases with more than 10 trays per arch. More than one refinement is not unusual especially for more difficult cases. I see approximately 20 percent of my cases required refinements. Invisalign will charge a fee for refinements that are pass the deadline for refinements.
I am planning on having a Face Lift and I am also doing Invisaligns. I am scheduled to get my impressions before I have the lift. Will the surgery change anything as far as the impressions are concerned? Should I wait until after the surgery to have the impressions done? Thank you.
A facelift will not effect your invisalign impressions. However, your orthodontia can affect your facelift results if you are undergoing movement of the jaws with a osteotmy type procedure. Most patients who are undergoing Invisalign will unlikely be undergoing a jaw moving procedure like this.
