What is an overbite?
An overbite, also known as a deep bite, occurs when:
- The upper front teeth extend too far over the lower front teeth.
- The lower teeth may touch the roof of the mouth in severe cases.
Overbites can result from genetics, childhood habits like thumb sucking, or teeth grinding.
How Invisalign treats overbites
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Here’s how the treatment process works for an overbite:
- Initial Assessment: Using the iTero scanner, your dentist will create a 3D model of your teeth and jaw, allowing them to assess the severity of your overbite.
- Customised Aligners: Invisalign aligners are designed to apply targeted pressure to specific teeth, correcting the overbite over time.
- Bite Adjustments: Attachments (small tooth-coloured shapes) and elastics may be used to aid in bite correction.
- Monitoring Progress: Regular check-ups ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
Benefits of fixing an overbite with Invisalign
- Discreet Treatment: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.
- Comfortable Fit: Smooth plastic aligners eliminate the need for wires or brackets.
- Improved Oral Health: Correcting an overbite reduces the risk of tooth wear, gum damage, and jaw pain.
- Efficient Results: Invisalign can treat mild to moderate overbites within 12-18 months, though timelines vary by case.
