Why would Invisalign intentionally make my teeth more crooked?

July 22, 2015
Asked By:Checkmate22 in Albany, NY

I've finished the original trays, and am now on my second set of refinements. My dentist never took any molds for them, which I found strange. Furthermore, the last tray of each set of refinements were noticeably more crooked than the first tray of each refinement (Tray 6 vs Tray 1 of each). Now my bottom teeth are more crooked than when I finished the original series of trays, but not as crooked as before I started Invisalign. Is there any reason my Invisalign would be prolonged like this?
