I agree with Kristen37 that you should be happy, but not everyone can get all the gaps closed, so although that is almost always the result, it isn't the case 100% of the time. There are what are called "tooth size discrepancies" that can make it an impossibility to close all the gaps in some cases, because from what I understand, the size of the teeth don't make it a possibility to fit around the arch and keep the upper and lower jaw in proper relationship. An orthodontist can usually tell you if this is the case before you start treatment, when they are doing the treatment planning and looking at the models of your teeth and your x-rays. Of course I don't know if that is what is going on here or not, but it sounds like that might be what the doctor is trying to communicate. It would be worth asking for more clarification on, and seeking a second opinion if you aren't comfortable with the explanation given.
