Need A Fresh Eye

Now that my initial treatment plan is over, refinements & fine tuning will be the order of the day. I took these shots this morn to let you see where I am after wearing the last aligner set in my plan for 18 days now:







(Just two slightly different angles of my bite as is now)








My lowers have straightened & the crowding has been alleviated.

Not quite perfect - some could still be moved just a bit more:







All are nicely lined up without visible gaps or crowding:

(at least not visible to anyone else)




















Teeny gaps opened up either side of my lower lateral with this last set - no one else can see it - but that definitely needs tightening up! Just look at that:






































I'm thinking the front anteriors are leaning ever so slightly to my left now. Both top & bottom maybe can be straightened inwards somewhat still. That will take care of the wee gaps that have recently opened up on the lowers as well - maybe the lower fronts have been proclinated just a wee bit too far out to relieve the crowding & they will all need a bit of tightening. There's the rotation of that right upper canine - we'll see what (an oblong attachment?) & how long it's going to take to do it. Maybe a bit of rotation on the upper left lateral would help - it seems to be showing it's face a lot less than it's corresponding one on the right. They certainly aren't completely symmetrical - but that's OK - neither is my face.
