Tray 1 (sigh) of 36 refinements
Here's an updated pic of tray 4 (original trays) v tray 1 of refinements.

Your teeth look straight. Your before picture looks like my teeth right now. And I just started Invisalign.

they look awesome. I made it to 29/36 trays when I had to get a mod course correction and I got given another 23 trays so I understand how you're feeling! I'm worried about my refinements (when I get there) but you're right.. We've paid the money so we might as well get our money's worth!

Refinements - confused :(
I thought refinements were to finish off the last little bit of the straightening. After reading everyone's reviews most people have minimal trays in refinements but I have more than my original 34 sets of trays. My refinements have 36 sets. I'm so disappointed, thinking I was nearing the end of treatment. Now I feel like this process is never ending. :(
Has anyone else had so many refinements?

I'd be bummed by that too, now I'm kind of scared about my own refinement needs! It seems like everywhere I read people are getting more refinement trays than I have just regular trays. I wonder what the average is...

I'd love to know the average too. I thought I'd be getting around 15 or so just by reading other people's reviews, especially when the ortho said I'd be 90% finished after the first round. Oh well, I've paid a lot of money for this, I'll just keep going along with it :)

It doesn't really make sense, does it? I mean your teeth are clearly straighter than they were 34 trays ago - and if 34 trays performed that much movement and you only need a few tweaks now - why so many trays for such little movement? Sometimes I think *get* Invisalign and then they set me right back to start. Which is what I'll be saying in 15 trays when they tell me I need 18 more ;)

Surely not?? That sucks a big one :( I'm sure once you get into them you will knock them over quickly. Post an update piccie for us if you get a chance :)
