Perhaps you’ve moved, a provider has become hard to reach, or you began with a mail-order kit. If you’re in Stonewall and part-way through trays, here’s how to approach what comes next.
Let's find a time
Being in the middle of a tray series with nobody to check on it can feel unsettling. You may not know which tray you should be on, whether the current one still fits as intended, or if anybody else can take a look. Whether care could be continued is something only a clinic can answer after seeing you.
We can’t tell you here what’s possible in your case. What we can say is where to ask: Stonewall is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents would come in to our clinic on McPhillips Street for an examination and a straightforward discussion of what they’ve already been through.

Current, used and unworn aligners can all help show how far you’ve come with your series.
A provider’s name, your start date and any paperwork give the dentist more to work with.
Your teeth, gums and bite would be examined now, no matter what an earlier plan has said.
Two questions matter at this point. One is what has happened in your mouth so far, and the other is what paperwork or digital records may exist from your earlier care.
Actual movement can differ from what a series was supposed to do. Comparing the teeth as they are now to what was planned means examining them in person.
The earlier plan may help explain what was intended. It’s fair to ask your previous provider for whatever they hold, though what you can obtain will vary.
Don’t jump ahead through leftover trays to get it finished. If your aligner has stopped fitting, call the clinic and describe what you’re seeing.
An interrupted case can’t simply slot in where it left off. These four stages would still apply, viewed with your earlier treatment in mind.
Request your visitTeeth, gums, bite and jaw relationships are assessed afresh, with photographs and appropriate X-rays. Your earlier trays and paperwork add context here.
If treatment makes sense, it needs a plan for where each tooth goes from today’s position. Your old preview may no longer be relevant.
Should new aligners be appropriate, their fit is confirmed, attachments are handled as planned, and you’ll go over insertion, removal and care.
Progress is checked against the current sequence. Bring up any differences you notice, rather than assuming they’re normal after a change of provider.
Since you’re travelling into Winnipeg, you’ll want everything together in a single visit if you can. Ask what’s worth bringing when the clinic contacts you.
Write to your earlier provider, if possible, sooner rather than later. Records can take time to obtain, and they may be harder to find as time passes.

People step away from treatment for all kinds of ordinary reasons, including a move, money, or simple frustration. You don’t need to defend any of those choices to anyone.
Tell it as it happened, including gaps in wear. It gives the dentist a truer picture to work from.
Describe any pain or any tooth that seems different, and phone the clinic rather than pressing on.
Ask openly about what a new assessment or plan would involve. Nothing here can answer that in advance.
However this ends
Whether you complete treatment, restart it or decide to stop, your teeth keep responding to what you do next. Ask how to protect the position they’re in now.
Find out from the dentist what’s sensible for your teeth when you decide not to continue with trays.
New records might support ordering refinement aligners, depending on what the assessment shows and the plan that follows.
Retainers worn as prescribed are what hold teeth afterward, since shifting can continue over your lifetime.
Bring any retainer you were given earlier, even if it isn’t fitting now. It’s useful information about where things have gone.

Helpful details about invisalign in Stonewall.
Ask our teamThat can’t be answered without looking at your teeth and records. Call ahead and explain your situation, and ask what’s realistic at an assessment.
Yes, you can ask for an assessment. Bring the trays and any instructions you received, and say plainly how you’ve been using them.
Phone the clinic and describe how it’s fitting, because the right answer depends on your circumstances. Please don’t move forward to the next tray on your own.
Trays are made for a specific tooth position in a specific sequence. Bring them with you so the dentist can judge whether they’re still relevant.
Tell the clinic what you do have. A new examination and fresh records can be taken as appropriate, so missing paperwork isn’t the end of the discussion.
Reach the clinic at (204) 338-3003 or use the form, and describe where you are in your series. Staff will contact you to arrange a time.
After an interrupted course of aligners, your options may be broader than trays alone. Learn more about what could be suggested.
