I am on tray 6 of 11 (top) and 21 (bottom), with 2 attachments (top) and 5 (bottom). I am 62 years old, and had braces many years ago. My orthodontist never mentioned refinements and I only found out about them through research. Are refinements usual? I am a bit concerned - my trays fit fine, although a little tight at first, but I see little change. Thanks!

Answer: Invisalign refinements
Refinements are a normal part of Invisalign treatment. Sometimes they are needed and sometimes not. Don't worry if your orthodontist didn't mention them; if they are needed I assume he/she will bring the idea up. If the trays fit well then your treatment is right on track. Sometimes it seems that not much is happening, but actually it is. You might ask to see the Clincheck animation to visualize exactly how your teeth moving. Many orthodontists susbribe to an online sevice called Sesame that allows you to see these animations online.

Answer: Invisalgin Refinement
Refinement is a normal part of the invisalign process. it is similar to wearing conventional braces and going to the orthodontist and they tell you they will come off in a month, a month later he tells you another month. The case is just being tweaked. Absolutely nothing to worry about
