Does this look like a normal bite? (10 months into a 18 month treatment)
So I went in for my orthodontic appointment today after being out of the state for three months (just increased the time in between trays to make them last the amount of time I needed, though I still have one more tray to go in this set since I wanted to save one for while I am waiting for my next set of trays) and my orthodontist surprised me by saying that she thought my teeth looked good and that I could finish treatment early. She handed me a mirror and asked if I liked how they looked (I am getting treatment for a somewhat mild open bite, so that was what I was looking at). I told her at the time that I thought it looked fine and signed some papers to get my retainer ordered.
My concern is that there may still be some issues with my bite and I wanted to reach out to see if I could get some insight from others who have finished their Invisalign treatment to see if my bite is "normal". I feel like there is still a little too much of a gap between my front upper and lower teeth. There appears to be a slight gap at the top of my front upper teeth, though I'm not too concerned with this. I also noticed spacing between my teeth when I look at them from the sides, again, not sure if this is normal or not. I just went in today, so I figured that I could call them back if I noticed any issues at home.
I asked about over-corrected trays, as my dental hygienist who used to work in an orthodontist office recommended them, though my current orthodontist said that they rarely use them and didn't think that I needed them. They also ordered my retainer based on the scan they did today (on my 11th out of 12th tray) and I am concerned that it may undo any additional (though probably small) progress that will be made by tray 12. Is that normal?
