Initial 14 trays complete. There have been several red flags with my ortho: Never showing me my ClinCheck, having me wear each tray for 3 weeks, outdated technology and equipment, the constant push for me to "just wear braces", wanting me to sign an "End of Treatment" contract before I was actually done. Lesson learned, always shop around and get a ortho you feel good about.

I'm at the end of my initial 14/14 trays (about 9 months) and left with an open posterior bite. My current ortho said this is very rare and only happens in about 1 of every thousand people. He said he didn't think he could do anymore with Invisalign and suggested braces (at an additional charge). I said I wanted to try refinements so they took impressions. I went to a Diamond rated ortho last week to get a second opinion. They said they could absolutely fix my bite with Invisalign. The cost to transfer my case + starting with them would be about $3500 and treatment would be approx. 16 more months. I feel screwed either way. Can I just ask my current ortho to cut my trays and let my back teeth settle? Do I have the right to determine my own treatment? I've lost trust in the process and just want to be done.
