Can I Get Invisalign With An Overbite?

If you have a smile with crowded teeth or an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, then Dr. William Lee in Honolulu, HI can help you to discover the smile you’ve always longed for. While many people seek out Invisalign to straighten crooked teeth, not everyone is aware that Invisalign can also help correct additional tooth issues to beautify your smile. Your teeth can not only be straight but your bite can be enhanced for more aesthetic appeal and better function.

Can Invisalign Do More Than Correct Crowded Teeth?

Invisalign is a set of retainers that are translucent. They are worn throughout the day and much of the night in order to gently encourage your teeth to move into a more aesthetically pleasing and functional space within your jaw. 

The specially designed retainers slowly move your teeth forward, back, or left and right, depending on how your total smile needs to be changed. In many cases, Invisalign can also help with bite issues. A healthy bite allows you to speak, eat, and smile with confidence. When you schedule an initial appointment with your dentist, they can go over possibilities for correcting bite issues.

How Can Invisalign Help with Overbite?

Invisalign can help with an overbite in most cases. If the teeth that need to be moved closer to the back of the jaw have space to migrate, then your smile can be improved with Invisalign. The only way to know for sure is to have X-rays at a dental appointment and assess your smile possibilities with a dentist.

Can I Schedule an Appointment Right Away?

If you think Invisalign might help you with an overbite or other tooth crowding issues, you don’t need to wait for your regularly scheduled dental cleaning to find out.
