From start finish: Invisalign for overcrowding and overbite - London, GB
My teeth are finished!!!!!!!!!!
My dentist advised stopping on tray 32/36 so there was enough room to put a fixed wire behind the top front teeth. She also said it would make teeth look brighter and that it would give me a slightly fuller looking lip (I have a thin top lip). So now I have a hidden upper and a lower wire and I wear plastic retainers on top and bottom every other night.
I also had some home whitening gel which was a complete disaster!I used sensitive toothpaste for 2 weeks before and during the process, but still suffered from the most horrendous body-cringing sensitivity. I stopped after a week and think my teeth are a shade or 2 whiter, but not much. Instead I've reverted to using whitening toothpaste and have completely stopped drinking tea and coffee.
Overall I am happy with the finished product. I like smiling now! I'm immensely grateful that I didn't need refinements after such a long treatment.
The midline is still off-centre and my teeth aren't wide enough to fill the mouth when I smile. However, I feel that the final result is a marked improvement on the original teeth. I am very happy and would recommend :D

Thank you for the picture :). I think your smile looks fantastic already. Beautiful! But I do see that those two front teeth have moved up a bit so everything is more even. This is really working! I'm not surprised, but it's always wonderful to see anyway :D.
Hi, Flower79. I'm the community manager, just popping in cause I noticed your question :).
It's easier to see what you're talking about with pictures, but, unfortunately, you can only post pictures in your own review. Of course, we'd love for you to start a review, even so far into your treatment (I started my review one tray before the end!)
At any rate, I've seen a lot of cases here where a lot happens at the end. And I've seen others where most of the movement doesn't happen at the end. Most people end up doing some sort of refinement before they're completely done, though.
