Unsatisfied with Results, No Refinement Trays Offered by Doctor? (photo)

January 15, 2013
Asked By:james_ in London, UK

Paid £3,950 (~$6,300) for 12 trays Invisalign Lite in London. Feeling overcharged. I put ib the last tray in December. I am not happy with my upper incisors. My dentist refuses to order refinement trays. She prefers adding additional attachments to my teeth to further tweak its position (whilst still using the last, 12th tray for weeks now which is also interesting as it should be used for 2 weeks only). What shall I do? Find another practice? See photos of my upper incisors attached.

Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, DMD says:

Hello! That is unfortunate your dentist gave you the wrong aligners... but, this should not cause long term damage. The best thing to do is stay on set #6 until you can get back to your dentist to get the correct aligner. By skipping so many aligners, it will cause your aligners that you...

Finished with Invisalign and Now I Need Veneers. How This Should Be Performed?
N. Summer Lerch, DDS, FAGD - Account Suspended says:

After Invisalign therapy often veneers will be needed for the most beautiful smile.  In our office, if the reshaping of the enamel is minimal, as it sound like yours is, we do not place temporaries.  The fit of the last aligner tray still holds the teeth in the interim and our patient...
