Awesome! I hope your journey is still going well! I just recently learned how to properly read the comments on RUclips lol Sorry I missed this 10 months ago!
I was really shocked to find out today my doctor has ordered 41 additional aligners considering I did already started with 41. A month ago during one of my checkups I was told we might or might not need any additional ones, my teeth look pretty good right now so they said we'll need to order additional ones I was honestly thinking 3 or 4. Because I have also spoken with them about moving to another country in April and was told we will be done by then. Now 41 sounds like almost one more year - a week for each one. Unfortunately, my appointment is next week and the girl on the phone didn't know why I need so many additional aligners. What should I expect? It will be so inconvenient for me to fly back and forth for months to complete the process.
Everyone has a different comfort level. I personally like an updated xray at least once a year. It is the best way to make sure the roots and bones are healthy as we are moving teeth. There are however some cases that are fairly straight forward that I do not take progress xrays on. Maybe ask them!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
Great video thank you. I now feel better about my after treatment
Right on Harry! Happy it helped. Let me know if I can assist with anything else!
A very informative video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful thank you! Been having some tracking issues recently and can't really get in to see my doc so this was useful information

Is there any extra charge for refinement ?
In cane here to find out about refinements as I’m nearing the end of my first set of trays. I left here more confused than I was before watching.
I'm sorry to hear that. What can I clarify for you?
My ortho hasn’t x rayed my teeth since I started treatment. And he didn’t do it before refinements either. Is this normal?

1 week per tray??
It depends! Always follow your orthodontist recommendations. Usually it is 1 week per tray though.
Such a BLAHHHHHH
