Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I'm continuing with my invisalign journey, patiently waiting to see more changes in the upper teeth. Aligners on my lower teeth are passive, so they are supposed to be done by now. They are not, and the constant pressure on the tooth that hasn't moved as expected is making it more mobile. I am concerned, as the tooth moves a lot when I touch it. The orthodontist told me it must be the elastics that I was wearing, and had me stop those for a little while.
She also suggesting trying to put some of the older lower teeth aligners to see if they fit this stubborn tooth better. I pointed out that all other teeth are in different position now, but she thought it wouldn't be a problem. I didn't even bother looking for older aligners since I'm not going to experiment with my teeth and jeopardize progress made. Anyways, we are moving on and hopefully refinements will fix the issue.
I am a little frustrated because I feel like the results are not showing, but I hope it will get better.

Will need refinements
I went to my orthodontist's office yesterday to discuss my lower teeth that should be aligned by now, but are still crooked. I was told that they can take a new scan of my teeth now and get new aligners to correct the issue, but since I will "most likely need refinements" for my upper teeth too, I should wait until I'm done with the whole treatment. Not very cheerful:( Not sure how long this will extend my treatment time, even without refinements I have 52! aligners.

Just feeling a bit frustrated with my orthodontist's office. My lower teeth did not move exactly as the clincheck was showing, and I was hoping to come in the orthodontist's office sooner, rather than wait 3 weeks. My concerns were disregarded. The assistant said that "rubber bands will fix that" even though rubber bands are used on tray 40, and fix the bite rather than position of the teeth. Not sure if there is anything they can do at this point, but I would have liked them to at least listen to my concerns.
