Invisalign, IPR gaps. HELP!

I have had invisalign for about 3 months now, I am halfway through the treatment and have about 6 trays left. I got IPR done today (where they shave gaps in your teeth) I am freaking out. There is a HUGE gap in my lower front teeth, it looks awful.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the gaps to close?!!! It looks OK with the aligner in, but without, it looks awful...........

Don't worry, i had the same feelings but they need to create the gaps for your teeth to move into and they can always put in some composite bonding in at the end if you still have a little gap. Thats what I had.

Trust the process! Also, you might not want to hear this but there are usually refinements (more trays).
