My daughter had3 cavities when she began the invisilign process. She's only going on her 4th tray so I'm well aware that hygiene is also something that needs to be mentioned here. She wears them faithfully but when not she puts them in Listerine to get rid of taste. She went from 3 old cavities to 9 in about 5 months. She's not angel. She likes soda, sweets...all of it but she brushes and flosses. The only difference is the mouthwash sitting on her teeth.

You can fix your gap and overbite with Invisalign. Your bite relationship in the back is good. I doubt you will need elastics. We correct the deep bite by intruding the anterior teeth i.e. move the upper teeth up and lower teeth down. This will allow us to close the gap....
I bet they are already gone. When you dry the teeth off to bond on the attachments, they dry out and if you have any areas that are decalcified or fluorosis spots, they show up more. Once the teeth rehydrate, gone.
You're going to have bad days here and there. That is not going to spell doom for you. If that set of aligners are still tight when you're supposed to change, just wear them a little longer until they're loose. I wish all patients were as into their treatment as you are!...
