Keep getting the run around on my Invisalign treatment, looking for advice/refund

brna89Nov 17, 2017
I started Invisalign in June of 2015. I was told I was the perfect candidate and my case was minor. The treatment should have ended that December. I have been switched from dentist to dentist 4 times by my provider, I have been through 4 sets of impressions/trays, with no end in sight. The trays are just not working the way they were promised. Is there ANY way I can get a refund for this? I feel like I paid $4000 for a service that over promised and has underdelivered for 2 years now.

Often you can try placing #13 but you need to be careful not to over stress the surrounding bone and the roots of the teeth by moving the teeth too far, too fast. You could damage the bone and need a bone graft, or the roots of...
