Can Invisalign Treatment Fix Overbite? Understanding the Role of Clear Aligners

An overbite is a common orthodontic condition where the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth. Though often hereditary, an overbite may also develop due to habits like thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use. Invisalign treatment has emerged as a popular option to address many orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate overbites.

Transform Your Smile Discreetly

Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. The process begins with a consultation with our dentist to assess your dental needs. Then, digital scans and moulds are taken to create a series of aligners to move your teeth progressively over time. Every few weeks, you’ll switch to the next aligner in the series, slowly achieving the desired alignment. Your dentist will monitor progress regularly to ensure everything is moving according to plan.

Correcting Your Overbite

Invisalign aligners treat mild to moderate overbites by applying consistent, gentle pressure to reposition the teeth and improve the bite. This gradual adjustment not only corrects the overbite but also enhances the overall alignment of your smile.

However, there can be limitations with severe overbites requiring more extensive intervention. In such cases, our dentists will collaborate to determine the most suitable approach, which may include additional orthodontic measures and Invisalign treatment.

To understand how Invisalign treatment can best address your overbite, a consultation with one of our experienced dentists is essential. During this session, you’ll discuss the expected timeline, desired outcomes and necessary post-treatment retention plans.

Why Choose Invisalign Treatment for Overbite Correction

One of the main reasons this method is so popular is its aesthetic appeal. The clear aligner trays are almost invisible, offering a discreet alternative to traditional braces, which is especially important for adults who prefer a subtle orthodontic solution.
