Refinement Appointment and Scan Date

My patient portal suddenly has two new dates in it. A scan in March, and an entire month of waiting for the new aligners! This is after I was told I might not need the scan. I am confused, and upset.

Very pleased with the office and staff. They were all so incredibly friendly, I didn't feel like I was at the orthodontist. I know my case is complex but I wasn't turned down or made to feel bad about it like I have been at other offices. Very excited to begin seeing results!

Aligner 10/33

Went back to the orthodontist today, and was told that I may need a refinement scan in March due to the placement of attachments on the front incisors being off leading to poor tracking. Not super happy about it. I was hoping that I would be switched to one week wear, but I'm still at 10 days. So this may end up adding significant time to my treatment.

The process only took about ten minutes, and I didn't move my tongue to where I would taste the glue since I've heard it tastes bad. I got a total of 14 of them put on, two that are lingual on my front teeth. The trays are harder to put on and take off. I was given chewies to help seat my aligners. I asked about the newly released one week wear time and was told that I will start at 10 days for 10 weeks and then switch to one week after that, which leaves me at tray ten of 33 at the next appointment in January with a 'finishing' time at around 8 months from today, so early July 2017.
