Well, what won't be fixed is my 80% overbite. I don't think invisalign will help at all with that(though I have read blogs where overbite has been helped with invisalign without the elastics). Maybe it will even make it worse.
What will(hopefully!):
1) Large diastama between my two front teeth(Main reason for any treatment at all. The other problems don't really bother me)
2)Two front incisors will be pushed up as they are larger by far than my other teeth.
3)Small gap on top between premolar and canine on my right side and small gap between canine and premolar on the bottom left and right(I am like a freakin' primate of the non hominid variety!)
4)Midline is off on bottom teeth by half a tooth.
5)second incisor on top right is slightly behind where it should be.
Thank goodness all my teeth are straight(or nearly) or else I would be in them forever!

Ugly teeth.
Thats what prompted me to get my teeth straightened, nothing causing any pain except when I looked at pictures of me smiling.
Don't know the official terms, but they were crooked and had spaces but the worst part was a baby tooth (canine) that was getting ready to kick the bucket....so I had the one that was stuck in my palate exposed and brought over to where it belongs.
