This doesn't make sense!

If you wear your retainer as align suggests the teeth won't slip back. Period> With that in mind getting money back is not an option.

Align Tech introduced Viviera retainers as a series of 4 sets that you will use over a specific time frame to accomodate each... more

Money back from Invisalign

When you have orthodontic treatment your relationship is with the orthodontist, not the manufacturer of the appliances used. If you are unhappy with treatment, either fixed braces or removable Invisalign, discuss the situation with the orthodontist. If the orthodontist is ethical, he will try to correct the problem either through re-treatment or refund.
