I have obviously beaten the habit because I am wearing Invisalign and therefore there is no way i can bite my nails. My nails are extremely short compared to a person who doesnt bite their nails. And they are in a really weird shape.

It may be difficult to get them into normal shape because of the years of abuse. it's going to take about five months for them to be at a normal length. I recommend you take a good quality multi-vitamin twice daily as this will help give the nails the nutrients they need. Eat lots of good quality protein as that helps the nails. Massage a good quality hand cream into your nails every night before bedtime. This is going to help them become stronger.

Every-ones nails grow at a different pace just like your hair. There is no way of telling how long it will take.
It sounds like you have damaged them badly if they are mis-shaped. Let them grow out and then shape them with a nail file.
If they have divots in them they won't ever go away, that is permanent.
