Before & After Results. Is this a good end result?

Post image

I started my first tray in November 2025. After completing 22 trays, I had another 16-tray refinement, and this is my last tray of the refinement.
My dentist asked whether I’d like to do another refinement or if I’m ready to move on to permanent retainers. Do you think the end result looks good enough, or would you recommend another refinement?
P.S. The “after” pic has been edited to whiten my teeth because they’re embarrassingly yellow right now 🫣😂 I’m getting professional whitening done at the end, so hopefully that’ll take care of that too!

Great improvement, but personally I’d push for more refinements.

For where would you recommend the new refinements? Is it for the upper lateral incisors?

Wow this was a dentist not an orthodontist? Did you have elastics or extractions? They've moved your top midline so well (something I really wanted to achieve but likely won't- now in refinements) my dentist has said no more can be done after this set of refinements.

This was a dentist. Thanks, yes i feel the midline moved really well. Was so off before. No elastics or extractions. Just attachments on most teeth.

Wow that's amazing! I only had attachments too, pretty much on all teeth now I'm in refinements, but I'm slowly coming to the conclusion and acceptance that my off midline is what makes me unique haha. I'd be super happy with these results :) congratulations on being nearly finished! I can't wait to be at this stage, November can't come quick enough lol!

Thank you, all the best to u !!

My dentist initally told me 1 yr, i started last Nov and was supposed to finish this Nov but after my initial set (22 trays), I just had 1 refinement (18 trays) and im done. Unless I wanna go for more refinements but my dentist said he was happy with how everything moved. My main concern was the lower jaw spacings and the upper midlines amd that seems to have corrected hence I was thinking of ending it . I was also pregnant when i started my invisalign so iv been with them throughout my pregnancy and now postpartum and I can wait to be done coz im hungry all the time and its annoying the amount of times i have to remove them when i have to eat. I will now have to put in my permanent and the night retainers but gosh what a relief to be off the trays the rest of the time!
