Teeth can move much quicker or slower than planned and your dentist will have to alter your treatment plan depending on your particular case.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>That is potentially why face-to-face appointments with Invisalign doctors are so valuable. Even the smallest deviations from your treatment plan can be realised straight away and corrected, whether it\u2019s a mid-treatment alteration or end-of-treatment refinement.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-is-the-process-for-getting-invisalign-refinements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the process for getting Invisalign refinements?&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p>If your Invisalign doctor finds that you need refinements at the end of your treatment, they will first assess your teeth. Then they will rescan your teeth and bite using the iTero 3D scanner, and make a refinement plan.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>After this, you will receive Invisalign refinement trays to help gradually straighten out any teeth that still need to be aligned, and close any gaps that are still visible. The number of refinement aligners that you need depends entirely on your personal orthodontic case and the number of refinements needed.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>In the following video YouTuber Nina explains the process of getting her refinements and answers questions about her Invisalign experience:<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\" >  <div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-0aw3vv-nnc0\" class=\"arve\"> \t<div class=\"arve-inner\"> \t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> \t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div> \t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &#039;none&#039;;autoplay &#039;none&#039;;camera &#039;none&#039;;ch-ua &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-read &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-write;display-capture &#039;none&#039;;encrypted-media &#039;none&#039;;gamepad &#039;none&#039;;geolocation &#039;none&#039;;gyroscope &#039;none&#039;;hid &#039;none&#039;;identity-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;idle-detection &#039;none&#039;;keyboard-map &#039;none&#039;;local-fonts &#039;none&#039;;magnetometer &#039;none&#039;;microphone &#039;none&#039;;midi &#039;none&#039;;payment &#039;none&#039;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &#039;none&#039;;publickey-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;screen-wake-lock &#039;none&#039;;serial &#039;none&#039;;sync-xhr;usb &#039;none&#039;;window-management &#039;none&#039;;xr-spatial-tracking &#039;none&#039;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-0aw3vv-nnc0\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/0AW3Vv-nNc0?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/0AW3Vv-nNc0?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe> \t\t\t \t\t<\/div> \t\t \t<\/div> \t \t \t <\/div> <\/div><\/figure>    <h2 id=\"invisalign-refinement-time\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign refinement time<\/h2>    <p>Similarly to your original treatment aligners, you will need to wear your new refinement aligners for 20-22 hours per day, 7 days a week.

Or it could be that you didn\u2019t manage to wear your aligners for the full 20-22 hours per day. It may also be because you had to have your aligners out for an extended period such as during an illness.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Whatever the reason, Invisalign refinement trays should get you back on track and allow you to get the smile you hoped for. If you have already gone through months of treatment, it is worth spending a little more time getting it just right. Invisalign refinements can add anywhere between three and six months extra time to your treatment plan, but you won\u2019t regret it.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you refuse Invisalign refinements?<\/h3>    <p>Yes, you can refuse Invisalign refinements against your dentist&#8217;s recommendations. However, it is best to check why they have suggested refinements in case you regret your decision later on.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many refinements with Invisalign are allowed?<\/h3>    <p>The number of refinements that you can get after finishing your treatment depends on your dentist, but generally, Invisalign dentists or orthodontists will offer up to 3 refinements.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you think that you need refinements, speak to your dentist to learn more about costs and other information.<\/p>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>   <div
