Will Invisalign animations always be achieved?

[Phil J]

Hi.

I have crowded teeth and I recently started to do some research about Invisalign. I saw two dentists about Invisalign until now. One of them showed me some animations, which the other dentist didn't. It is confusing for me. Can these results on the animations be achieved or not?

[Dr Georgiana Mirica]

We always receive these animations from Invisalign before we start the treatment. They are a good guide for the treatment but there is no guarantee they will be achieved 100%.

It depends on how long the patient wears the aligners and on other factors as well, but if the final result is not achieved, we have the possibility to order more aligners from Invisalign, and this is called refinement.
