Here are the animations Invisalign provided for my treatment. It is pretty amazing to see how recognizable and undeniably detailed the invisalign animations are. They're my teeth to the T. I said nothing to my mom one day as I showed her the first ClinCheck video on my laptop, and she said, "Woah! Those are your teeth on there!!" while pointing at the screen.
If you have not read my post below about getting started and the initial appointments, the gum tissue does not fully respond in the videos as it will in real life. After seeing the animations, I was generally pleased with the improvements, but was obviously concerned about the still crooked gum tissue. My ortho explained that it will move with the teeth, and even if there is still excess tissue on the left front tooth, it can be trimmed very easily.
It's not very obvious from this view but my front tooth (right front in this animation) is not only crooked but also juts out significantly. Check the side view video (3rd here) to see what I mean. I'm interested to see how quickly this tooth is noticeably pulled in. My primary concerns from this view are the tooth I just mentioned, the tooth just to the right of my right front tooth which needs to be pushed out, and then the overall widening of the arch if possible. This is confusing, I know. Basically, pay attention to the big front tooth on the right, and the tooth to the right of the front tooth. They have some serious work to do. Got it?
I like this view. It makes my teeth look pretty
decent to start with. Ignorance is bliss, huh?
In this video, I'm excited to see the pokey,
upper tooth being pulled in.
