I was just shown my Clincheck 3D predicted results for Invisalign and my end results look worse than when I started (Photo)

Question

So I am 5 months into my 1 year Invisalign treatment and I originally went into for minor fixes. I recently went in for a checkup and I was just shown my Clincheck 3D predictions (after 5 months). I do not want to continue my Invisalign anymore because i'm going to end up with a terrible open bite. If I would've known the end results were going to turn out like the 3D scan predicted, I would have never agreed to start the treatment. I don't know what to do. Please help.

In my opinion, your concerns are valid.  My suggestion is to schedule a time to talk to your provider in private and tell him that you are not happy with the end result shown by your Clincheck 3D prediction.  It possible to do what is called a "mid course correction" to change the expected result of your treatment.  That said, I would be a little concerned about continuing treatment with a provider who would accept that outcome given your initial problem.  Successful clear aligner treatment is completely dependent on the skill of the Dr to determine the best final position of the teeth.  In my opinion, the 3D prediction was not the best final position given your initial bite.
