I currently have the retainers now after my Invisalign plan. I noticed my top two teeth are slightly crooked still and already went through 1 refinement set before. I know I still am in my Invisalign progress as my Doctor just called me to schedule a 6 month check up after I received the retainers in the beginning of this year.
