Answer: Whitening Bonding and find out what is causing the chipping!
It is definitely an option the majority of the time to close spaces with invisalign. At times a part of invisalign therapy is to shave down the sides of teeth minimally to allow for the teeth to move and shift to where they need to be. Although, this is not the case for you, the same principle...
Without orthodontics, just bonding between the gaps will increase the size of each tooth and it would be appearing like wide teeth. Instead if we can do minimum orthodontics and move the front 4 teeth more to the center with little gap left between them and then we can bond...
I would give it some time to get used to it and then see how you feel. I think it's an improvement but you might like it better if the lateral incisors were shorter than the central incisors.
