Crowded teeth can complicate oral hygiene, leading to tooth decay and discomfort. At Woodcroft Dental in Midhurst, we use Invisalign’s clear aligners to effectively straighten your teeth without the need for metal braces.
Gapped teeth can lead to bite issues, gum problems, and food trapping, increasing the risk of decay and affecting your smile’s appearance. Invisalign discreetly closes these gaps, creating a healthier, more even smile.
An overbite is when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth. While a slight overlap is normal, a deep overbite can cause functional and aesthetic problems if not treated.
An overbite can lead to issues like tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and difficulties with chewing. It may also increase the risk of tooth damage, cause gum irritation, and affect the appearance of your smile.
Yes, Invisalign is an effective treatment for many cases of overbite. The clear aligners work by gradually shifting your teeth and adjusting your bite over time, correcting the overbite without the need for traditional braces.
Invisalign aligners are designed to be more comfortable than traditional braces, as they are smooth and don’t have metal brackets or wires. Some patients may experience mild pressure as their teeth shift, but this discomfort typically subsides after a few days.
After completing Invisalign treatment, wearing a retainer as directed by your dentist is essential to maintain your new bite and prevent the overbite from returning.
Invisalign can correct many mild to moderate overbites, but in some severe cases, additional treatments may be needed. Your dentist at Woodcroft Dental will evaluate your overbite and recommend the most appropriate treatment for you.
The first part of your Invisalign treatment involves a consultation. We will assess your smile, answer questions and concerns, and outline the procedure in more detail to put you completely at ease.
We create digital images based on each stage of your treatment. We then custom-make your aligners to fit your teeth throughout the process. You can even see your predicted results.
We offer retainers to our Invisalign patients, which help preserve the new position of the teeth. We’ll also support you during and after your teeth-straightening treatment.
