It is important not to skip overcorrection aligners that have been provided, as they help to stabilize the teeth in need of refinement, which supports long-term stability for your perfect smile.

What are overcorrection Invisalign for?

In terms of Invisalign, overcorrection is tooth movement beyond the ideal final position that is built into the aligner to compensate for the lag in tooth movement. This helps the tooth reach the desired final position.

Do you always need refinements with Invisalign?

Most dentists acknowledge that 80-90% of the Invisalign intended changes will be achieved. To achieve the last 20% refinements will be required in most cases. Refinements will only be required when your teeth aren't correctly responding to treatment.
