How Invisalign® Can Correct Your Bite
Overbite Correction
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively. This can lead to wear and tear on your teeth, jaw pain, and even difficulty speaking or chewing. Invisalign® aligners are custom-designed to gradually shift your teeth and jaw into a more balanced position, reducing the overbite and preventing future complications. Over time, this treatment can improve both your bite function and the appearance of your smile.
Underbite Treatment
An underbite is when the lower front teeth extend past the upper front teeth, which can cause difficulty with chewing and speaking, as well as jaw discomfort. By addressing the underbite, Invisalign® can help you avoid future dental problems and improve your bite alignment for better oral health.
Correcting Crossbite
A crossbite happens when some of your upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside. This can lead to uneven wear on your teeth, gum recession, and even tooth fractures. With a properly aligned bite, you’ll not only have a more attractive smile but also reduce the risk of long-term dental issues.
Fixing Open Bite
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed, often leading to problems with chewing and speech. Invisalign® aligners can help close the gap between your upper and lower teeth by applying gentle pressure to move them into the correct position.
At Brite Smiles Dental Care, we’re dedicated to providing personalized Invisalign® treatment plans to address your unique bite concerns. If you’re dealing with an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, schedule a consultation with us today to learn how Invisalign® can help you achieve a healthier, more balanced smile.
