If you're struggling with bite issues such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite, you are probably wondering if Invisalign can correct these alignment issues. The good news is Yes! Invisalign clear aligners are an effective, discreet solution for fixing many common bite problems.
How Invisalign Corrects Different Bite Issues?
Overbite (Upper Teeth Protrusion)
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively. This can lead to jaw pain, worn-down teeth, and speech issues. Invisalign aligners can gradually and precisely move your upper teeth back while aligning the lower teeth forward, correcting the overbite without the need for metal brackets.
Underbite (Lower Teeth Protrusion)
An underbite happens when the lower teeth extend past the upper teeth. This can cause chewing problems and jaw discomfort. Mild to moderate underbites can often be corrected with Invisalign. Invisalign can help reposition the lower teeth behind the upper teeth over time. Severe cases may require additional orthodontic treatments.
Crossbite (Misaligned Upper & Lower Teeth)
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit behind your lower teeth, instead of outside them when biting. Left it untreated, it can cause gum recession or tooth chipping. Invisalign can correct many types of crossbites by slowly guiding teeth into their ideal position to prevent uneven wear and jaw pain.
Is Invisalign the Right Solution for Your Bite Issues?
While Invisalign is effective for many bite issues, severe cases may still require other orthodontic treatments. The best way to determine if Invisalign can fix your bite is through a consultation with an experienced Invisalign provider. We will assess your alignment and create a customized treatment plan for your smile.
