I just posted a new picture of what my teeth look like, my mid-line is now centered when i close my mouth. I still have a few millimeters to go on the left until my bite is even on both sides. I have about 5 months left if everything goes as planned. I will have them reshaped as soon as everything is done. They are uneven from having a poor bite prior to my treatment, I had them shaped a little bit.

Alright so I am officially done with my first series of Invisalign aligners and I could not be more happy with the results. My orthodontist has reshaped my two top incisor teeth that used to be fangs so they match up with my two front incisors ( I will have them reshaped again once I am completely done with the program). I have all the attachments taken off also. I do have some white spots and decalification but my orthodontist said he will take care of that as well once I am completely done. I took new impressions today and should receive my refinements within 4-6 weeks. In the mean time, I have been told to wear my aligners at night until my other retainers are made which should be available within a week. The only things that I have left to correct is my overjet/overbite and a little more movement for the left side of the top arch. In addition to a few millimeters for my bottom front tooth to move. I am not sure how much more treatment time I have but I have done about 15 months so far.

Thanks for giving us an update and posting the pictures - things are looking really good!! I'm glad you are getting the refinements so you can get things improved even a bit more. Looking forward to hearing how that goes!

I'm on aligner 28/35 upper - 28/30 lower and the dip in the middle of the aligner is almost gone. I actually found out the my two front teeth were chipped and became somewhat shorter then the other two teeth from having a bad bite. My jaw feels fine now also from the rubber bands. Only complaint is I hope my over bite/ overjet is corrected sooner then later.

I agree with ocdave - looking good!
Has your dentist discussed how they plan to do the reshaping of your teeth? I'm assuming for your case they are going to do a little bonding?
My 2 front to begin with but once those few are shaped they will look even. I'll post after pictures.
Oh, that is great if you have enough enamel to shape them! Looking forward to seeing more pictures of your progress. :)
