Recently "completed" 14mo/30 tray treatment. Adhered strictly to 22hr/day wear. Teeth are relatively straight but laterals are incompletely extruded and pitch of incisors is not ideal. 3 midcourse corrections and never competed any single set due to poor tracking, mostly of laterals. Comparing vivera retainer to what would have been my final aligner, there is a vast difference. Pictures of smile compared to pretreatment do not justify $5K spent. What are my options for warranty or case transfer?

Answer: Your doctor is your best resource to answer your questions
Without any pre- and post-Invisalign photos of your teeth, it would be hard to make accurate diagnosis and recommendations.
However, in general, if your teeth were flared to begin with, and you wanted to "straighten" your teeth, this needs to be clearly defined....
Yes you can be treated. I like to cement the temp crown on with perm. bonding and they wont come off. You can grind on them for bite changes and then when finished you can remake them and have real nice smile
There is a break in peroid but not pain. the teeth are tender but not painful. apsrin or advil will help and that is it. after things get moving the really isnt any discomfort at all...plus you get a great smile
