Very slight open bite, upper and lower protrusion, crowding, and molar relationship way off.

Crowding, overbite and top centre line is way off

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!

The first time it was due to

crowding(mostly lower)
overbite

now the 2nd time its due to some minor relapse. mostly a few teeth wanting to go back to their crowded position. im not having that so here i am again!

My problem was too much spacing. Now I'm 8 months in and powerchained galore, my smile is looking a lot better already.

crowding, before the wisdoms came out, misalignment, slight bite issues

Crowding lower
Misaligned upper midline due to an extracted bicuspid from 30 years ago.

Crowding - Overbite - Overjet - Wonky lateral incisor

Underbite, very narrow upper arch, [leading to] crowding, slight open bite after SARPE, wonky midline, bit on TMJ, and maybe a bit of a crossbite too. I'd say I've got everything but an overbite/jet

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.

Class II bite,really deep bite, slight overjet, really narrow arches, crowding (particularly in lower incisors), oh and a nice little crossbite on my left premolars.

Severe overbite, mild overjet, mild spacing, and my midline's off, although my ortho never mentioned that

I also think I have a bit of crowding on the bottom, because I've noticed that one tooth is a bit turned...

I noticed my my bottom teeth were starting to wear unevenly and headaches were becoming more frequent and more painful. Plus I just DIDN'T like the way my teeth looked.
