Invisalign Clear Aligners: A Comprehensive Solution to Orthodontic Issues

If a dentist or orthodontist has ever informed you that Invisalign isn't suitable for you, it might be due to the complexity of your orthodontic case. Some challenging situations include:

Overbites
Underbites
Crossbite
Gap Teeth
Open Bite

Professionals who steer patients away from Invisalign may have extensive experience with metal braces and prefer to treat patients using that method. However, Invisalign can indeed address a wide range of unique cases, helping patients achieve their ideal smiles without the hassle of traditional braces.

Can Invisalign Fix an Overbite?

An overbite happens when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth. This common dental concern often leads people to seek teeth realignment solutions, as a varying degree of overbite affects most individuals.

A significant overbite, known as a "deep bite," can lead to tooth wear, resulting in cavities, gum disease, and eroded tooth enamel. It may also cause jaw pain. The good news is that Invisalign can treat both overbites and deep bites!
Can Invisalign Treat an Underbite?

An underbite is when the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth when the mouth is closed—the opposite of an overbite. This usually indicates a problem with the lower jaw being too far forward.

Underbites can cause headaches, breathing difficulties, and issues with chewing and speaking. It can also lead to rapid tooth wear. Invisalign can fix underbites effectively.
Can Invisalign Address a Crossbite?

A crossbite happens when some of the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when the mouth is closed. Ideally, they should be on the outside.

Crossbites can result in tooth decay and chipping, as well as headaches and muscle tension. Furthermore, they can cause gum recession or notches above the gum line, leading to painful gum issues or, in severe cases, bone loss. Invisalign can treat crossbites.
Can Invisalign Fix Gaps Between Teeth?

Gaps between teeth, also known as spacing issues, arise when there is extra space between two or more teeth.

Gaps can create pockets where food gets trapped, potentially causing digestive problems. They can also make gums tender and sore, and in extreme cases, lead to gum disease. Invisalign can fix gaps between teeth and other spacing issues.
Can Invisalign Treat an Open Bite?

Gaps between teeth, also known as spacing issues, arise when there is extra space between two or more teeth.

Gaps can create pockets where food gets trapped, potentially causing digestive problems. They can also make gums tender and sore, and in extreme cases, lead to gum disease. Invisalign can fix gaps between teeth and other spacing issues.
