Thanks Carolyn, yes I am very happy although I think these pictures make my overbite look less than it still is. I can still get my finger between my upper and lower arches- just not my thumb!
Don’t worry tray 11 will come around sooner than you think and once you start seeing progress in the right direction it makes all the difference to the way you view the whole process. It is really disheartening to have to go backwards, but at least you know that ultimately you are moving towards great teeth. My way of dealing with it is just to imagine how they will look two years from now, that (kind of) helps when I am sick of the things!
The thing I realised too though is that even though we notice changes for the worse I’m not sure it’s as apparent to other people.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Good Luck with the rest of your treatment.

Wow don’t they look great – you must be really pleased when you compare the before pictures with now. I’m going through a bit of a downer with my Invisalign process at the mo. I have an overbite similar to how yours was, I am on tray 8 of 14 lower and 46 upper. To date my bottom trays have been pushing my teeth back while my top trays are concentrating on pushing my back teeth forward to close gaps created by two extractions. What this meens is that my over bite is now worse than it was before I started!! I need to wait until tray 11 before my front top teeth start to get moved back but it feels like its taking forever! I’ve read that you’ve had some trying times so thank you for taking the time and effort to share them.
