I also had an invisalign appointment that day to get new trays, and I'm two away from getting new molds and solidifying my treatment plan, and so it got me thinking.
If you'll notice, my top teeth trend to the right. This has driven me crazy since the day I got my braces off at age 13. I was told by my orthodontist that this was not fixable. When I was approving my initial treatment plan for invisalign and I noticed that fixing this was not in the plan, I asked about it and he said, "yeah, it won't even be that noticeable by the end.

| Don't mind the droopy eyelids or the luggage under my eyes. I had a rough week and I just woke up from a nap a little bit ago. Or something. Also, look at how much straighter my teeth are getting! |
It's VERY noticeable right now, more so than when I started invisalign. SO, I had this appointment, and I asked, since I'm in striking distance to modify my treatment plan - my dentist said that this was the perfect opportunity to fix it, and they'd put it in when I do the molds.
I'm not sure what this is going to look like, but I would imagine that it's going to look like more IPR, which is no big deal, because I'm usually the only one that notices it. Except that time where my dentist apologized for "roughing me up" and created a very noticeable space between two of my teeth.
If that were to happen, I'm envisioning that I'll look like this eventually:

| Fun Fact: Jim Carrey's teeth are actually this way - he had an implant of some kind removed in order to create the space in his teeth! |
Obviously, I know this won't be the case, but it's at least comical to think about. I'm pretty excited that this is going to be fixed! :)
