I had to wear braces for 9 months as top two teeth weren't rotating as he wanted. I've had the braces removed over 3 months ago now and he wanted to finish off the treatment with aligners to finalise the rotation of my top teeth. After he was happy with how they looked i was fitted with bonded retainers and I have to wear essex retainers every night. I'm really not happy at all with how my teeth look and not sure what to do? Do I need the braces on again? Is it worth seeing another orthadonist?

From your photos, it appears to me that Invisalign would be a far better choice for you. With Invisalign, you have far better control over individual tooth movement
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.
