Invisalign for Overbite and Other Orthodontic Issues

Since its FDA approval back in 1998, Invisalign treatment has been on an upward trajectory to straighten teeth as an alternative to traditional braces. With clear braces, there is no age limit for straightening your teeth. Invisalign is suitable for milder orthodontic issues, although, with recent improvements, Invisalign can correct very tricky cases, including overbites.

Would you like to correct your bite misalignment and tooth crookedness in Fallbrook, California? At James M. Moran, DDS, we can fix your orthodontic problems without wires and brackets. We use clear, removable braces to move your teeth and jaws into the correct position.

How to Correct Overbites with Clear Braces

The Invisalign treatment always starts with a consultation with Dr. James Moran. 3D imaging using a digital camera captures thousands of images per second to view how your top and bottom teeth are positioned. The images are fed into simulation software to calculate how much force is needed to reposition your teeth for a balanced bite.

Your Invisalign treatment uses a series of aligners to reposition your teeth gently. Invisalign aligners won’t perform the “magic” while in the box — you have to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day to get the results you want. Only remove your aligners when brushing or eating. This means you should sleep with your clear aligners on.

Alongside Invisalign treatment, we will advise you to stop bad habits contributing to your overbite. You may have stopped thumb sucking years ago, but habits like pen and nail-biting and tongue thrusting affect your jaw positioning and muscle development.

Other Orthodontic Issues That Can Be Corrected with Clear Aligners

Besides the comfort and discreet nature of clear braces, versatility is another property that makes dentists fall in love with this orthodontic treatment. Invisalign can fix other orthodontic issues, like:

• Teeth crowding
• Underbite
• Open bite
• Gapped teeth
• Crossbite
• Deep bite
