Why do my teeth still look crooked after Invisalign? (Photo)

Question

I had 24 trays and am now on my last one - photo of my teeth attached. My teeth have made a massive improvement but still don’t look good to me. I will be seeing my dentist and inquiring about refinements but I wanted to know exactly why my teeth still look crooked! Is it simply the sizes of them are too different? I was planning to get my lateral incisors veneered... please let me know, thank you!

Dear  Melissa.b,
An important factor with cosmetic treatment is a clear understanding of what each service is for.
Invisalign will only change the location and alignment of the teeth. The shapes of the teeth still need to be addressed to achieve a more harmonious smile. This will likely be addressed with the veneers on the lateral incisors as there is still quite a large disparity between the size and proportions of these teeth relative to your dominant central incisors and canines.
There still appears to be a slight discrepancy in the allotment of your lower incisors, this may be addressed through a course of your invisalign treatment if it's bothering you, you'll also notice a significant improvement upon correction of the chipped left central incisor.
Hope that helps!
Dr Rick
