When you have an overbite, your upper jaw goes over your lower one. While some people have a minor overbite, others have a pronounced gap between their teeth, making it difficult to chew and eat.
When you have an overbite, Invisalign® will help to move your teeth back to the correct bite. This can occur over the span of weeks, months, or years depending on the complexity of the overbite and if the patient follows all rules when utilizing Invisalign®. The more the patient wears the aligners, the quicker the teeth will shift into the correct bite.
Invisalign® can treat a variety of dental misalignment issues including overbites, underbites, cross bites, and more. However, not every patient is an ideal candidate for this intervention. If the following characteristics describe you and your situation, chances are Invisalign is the right solution for you:
It can be difficult to determine how long you may need to under treatment. Most overbites can be treated between six months and two to three years, but it is best to talk with a professional at Implant Center of Miami to determine the timeline for your specific case and unique needs.
It is also significant to remember that Invisalign® can only shift teeth a small amount at a time, meaning that it typically takes months or a couple of years to successfully reach the desired result. Each new aligner is made to continue the process until your bite is normal!
