You may get an improvement on some parts with six month smiles but I would also get a consultation with a specialist. They may be able to provide a limited treatment plan which would get your needs met and still give you an affordable option with a better result. You only want to do it once.

You still have rotation on your upper centrals and lateral. This can be fixed but needs more time to do it correctly. Your case looks to be an improvement but treatment is incomplete. I would pursue a consultation with specialist who should be able to improve your result.

Best result is to put a composite filling in the space. You will not need to make hole larger, just fill indent and tooth will look great again. Not susceptible to caries and gives great cosmetic result.

Xray looks like you have an extra tooth present also. Cant tell on your photo if you have room for the impacted tooth. It is possible to move the teeth so that it could come in but unable to determine how your teeth would it together afterwards. But it would be worth it to get rid of the retainer with the tooth on it.

It is sometimes difficult to get a perfect result with clear retainers on lower incisors because the teeth are small and the retainer has a hard time grasping enough of the tooth to rotate it. Sometimes you can improve the results with new impressions to refine the case and sometimes you need to put brackets on so you can grab the tooth to place it in the best position.
Orthodontist
Since your trays have the attachments built in, just take your last tray in and they can replace the attachments you lost at your next appointment. They will prep your teeth that lost the attachments, add them inside your tray and bond them to your teeth. Sometimes they will come off initially, but easy to replace.
