Can Invisalign Fix an Overbite?
Invisalign may be used to treat certain cases of excessive overbite, a condition in which the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth vertically more than desired.
Treatment can involve planned movements of anterior and posterior teeth, depending on the patient’s dental and skeletal characteristics.
Some cases may require attachments, bite ramps, or other orthodontic auxiliaries.
The ability to correct an overbite depends on its cause and severity. Dental problems and skeletal discrepancies do not necessarily respond to the same treatment approach.
Severe skeletal malocclusions may require orthodontic methods beyond aligners alone, including combined treatment approaches in selected patients.
Digital planning can help visualize the intended correction, but it does not guarantee that every programmed movement will occur as expected.
A professional orthodontic assessment is necessary to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate.
