Invisalign Eve

On the eve of my second round of Invisalign treatments, I'm nervous, but ready to get it done and over with. I decided to take some updated pictures of the movement to share and so I can better keep track of my future changes. I'm just dreading pain and eating tomorrow (and the self-consciousness that comes with attachments), but hopefully I'm just overreacting! And that's very likely with me.

Here is just an overview of how my smile looks right now. Not horrible, but it was better when I first got done with treatment the first time. The bottom seems to be worse off than the top. Not that I'm complaining, but it's very visible my middle tooth line is a lot more even than it used to be. So that is an indictation of the movement, because when I was done with treatment, that line wasn't that even. It's not a big deal I guess whether it's aligned perfectly like this:
I
I
or a little off like this:
I
   I
But the change in position definitely shows a post-treatment shift.

Here's a better look at the bottom. As you can see, there's one tooth on the middle bottom 4 that has moved out of line behind the others. And now that I'm looking at it, the one next to it looks crammed and sideways. The top appears to be fairly good to me.

Anyway just wanted to post some pictures before tomorrow. I will surely update soon to post what happened.
