Only on my first set and they filed probably 4 teeth and say I have to have many more filed... This wasn't mentioned Til my aligners came in and I am very nervous it won't work because I got it off groupon so I wonder if my dentist is inexperienced. They also failed to include that they were going to put connectors on my teeth which help the trays stay on your teeth, biggest pains ever. Although I'm sure better looking than actual braces. As for the effectiveness, only time will tell. Again it's only my first set
I'm sorry to hear there were some surprises with your treatment and you didn't feel prepared for everything. I'm thinking the filing you had is what is called interproximal reduction (also commonly called IPR or slenderizing). Here is a Q&A that talks about it that might be helpful to you:
Is It Required That Teeth Are Shaved to Correct Crowding with Invisalign? Can Teeth Not Be Shaved with Invisalign?
If you are concerned about the experience of your dentist I would certainly encourage you to inquire about it. If you are having concerns and you let them know they might be able to explain everything so you feel much more comfortable, and if you don't feel comfortable you can consider if you want to continue with treatment with them or not.
Were you shown your Clincheck video? You could ask to see pictures of cases they have successfully completed as well.
Keep us posted on how you are doing.
