Hello, I am writing because I had 6 Month Smile braces placed 4 months ago. I had an overbite as well as some spacing that I wanted to correct. I had braces before so this is my 2nd time around. I had an appt today in which I was told I could have my braces removed and given a retainer. I am not happy with the results at all and feel I need to wear them longer. I'm not sure what I should do next. Possibly bonding to smooth out the ridges and close the gaps?

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.
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.
