I put my clincheck video on youtube to see if i can get some advice. As professionals do you think its ok?

Should i ask them to do anything or is it fine like it is? I am not sure if they can move the canines a little down and trim the ends. Any suggestions?

Invisalign Clin-Check

From what I can see, the projected outcome appears to be within acceptable limits and the tooth movement sequence realistic. Both aligners and conventional braces are designed to change the positionof teeth, not their shape. One of the limitations to getting an absolutely "perfect" bite and alignment of the teeth is variation in tooth shape and size. So, orthodontic treatment plans often include tooth recontouring or alteration in tooth size. My guess is that your orthodonitst will... more

Invisalign clincheck

It isn't possible to really see the details of your clincheck from the video you posted, but the final result looks fine.

Clincheck looks great.

Hi Piolola, It depends by what you mean by better placed? From what I can see, it looks like a pretty good treatment!

Adjusting Clinchecks

I love meeting with my patient to view the clincheck together so we can discuss things like this prior to approving it. Once it is approved the trays are being manufactured.

The clinchek looks good!

I think that your treatment looks fine and your Dr is on top of things. Remember that Invisalign does not change the shape of your teeth just their position. At the end of your treatment your Dr can do enamelplasty and smooth the points on your canines a little. usually women dont like to have pointed canines.
