Round tripping is moving a tooth/teeth in a direction opposite to where it should go before moving it in the correct direction to align that tooth.  Sometimes this is necessary to allow adjacent teeth to move to their positions or move teeth into a place to allow interproximal reduction.

Whether this occurs in your Invisalign treatment depends on your Invisalign provider and on the patient's occlusion.
