Invisalign® dental aligners can help treat many of the common, long-term dental issues that may cause serious problems if left unchecked. One such common dental ailment is an underbite.
An underbite is when the lower teeth protrude further than the upper ones when the mouth is closed. This can cause difficulty in chewing and/or speaking, pain, and enamel erosion. In the long-term, it can lead to tooth decay, infection, and gum disease. It tends to worsen over time, increasing the odds of these issues, and can be more difficult to treat the longer you wait to address it.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear dental aligners to apply gentle pressure to the teeth in stages. Every two weeks you switch to a new set of aligners to start making the next small correction needed to guide the teeth back into their proper placement. The end result is a corrected smile that works exactly how it should and looks great too.
Invisalign® constantly uses patient data and the leading dental science to make sure they're always learning and improving their process. This method has allowed them to cut treatment time down to as little as three months from start to finish. However, it is significant for patients to remember that the timeline depends on each patient's specific case. Some underbites can be more complex than others which can mean longer treatment times. In addition, the timeline may be affected by how well the patient follows the treatment plan and wears their Invisalign® at all times besides eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. If the user is not wearing their aligners enough or properly, they can expect the entire alignment process to take longer than usual or specified.
