Overbites make up roughly 70 percent of all dental disorders? Overbite occurs when your top front teeth extend beyond your bottom front teeth. A slight overbite is a common phenomenon.
However, if the overbite is severe, it could bring several problems like gum disease, tooth decay, pain in the jaw, etc.
There are quite a few treatments available for this condition.
Braces, palate expansion, and jaw surgery to fix the alignment are some of the
options. Many patients, though, inquire about Invisalign and its efficacy in
treating overbite.
This blog explores whether treatment with Invisalign in Bergen
County can help fix an overbite problem.
Types Of Overbite
Overbites are of two core types: vertical and horizontal. A
vertical overbite happens when the top teeth prominently overlap your bottom
teeth. Horizontal overbite occurs when the top teeth jut out in front of the
bottom ones.
Can Invisalign Help In Fixing The Overbite?
The success of Invisalign would depend on factors like the
severity of your problem and your commitment to wearing the aligners daily for
18-20 hours.
Invisalign can treat mild to moderate irregularities in the
teeth, but your orthodontist might suggest traditional braces for severe cases.
You can check with your doctor if Invisalign could fix your problem.
In conclusion, Invisalign offers many benefits over metal braces
like discreetness, better oral hygiene, and the option to remove the aligners
for meals and brushing teeth. To assess your overbite by an orthodontist and discuss Invisalign
