What refinements are
Refinements are extra aligners or plan adjustments used when more movement is needed after reviewing progress.
Why they may be needed
Teeth may not track exactly as planned, attachments may need adjustment, or the final bite and alignment may need more detailing.
What to check in a quote
Ask whether refinements are included, how many are included, what happens if aligners do not fit, and when retainers are made.
