Hi there

Just thought I'd post my clinicheck video.

Check out the hideous black triangles at the end, god I hope they do something about them!

I bet it will look so much better even with the black triangle. I don't know how they could get rid of that except to maybe do some IPR on the front teeth and move them together a little. You may have to just wait and see what it looks like when you are done with this set of aligners. You may think it is good enough at that point.

It seems like you are having a lot of movement of different teeth which is similar to what I had. So expect to need refinements (like me) because your teeth may not move exactly how it shows in the clincheck video.

Ipr can get rid of black triangles. They shave between your teeth and can file them to reshape the teeth, then with a refinement they push them close together again.

I don't have any black triangles on my clincheck but I am getting one on my teeth, so I'm hoping that it will be gone by the end.

ALso, remember that the clincheck is only a rough guide, and that most people do end up getting refinements.

Good luck

Please note that Invisalign software does not take the movement of the gingiva into account. The gum tissue will move with the teeth, so don't be too worried about that for now. As mentioned, you can have IPR to recontour the interproximal surfaces to improve the appearance during refinement if required.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I guess you have to trust that it'll all work out eventually.

Feels like a long hike ahead!
