CHOOSE INVISALIGN FOR OVERBITE

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively. This can be a concern as it may lead to uneven wear on teeth and jaw pain. Overbites can also increase the risk of tooth damage, gum issues, and may affect the appearance of your smile.

At Woodcroft Dental in Midhurst, we offer Invisalign to effectively treat overbites. The aligners gently and gradually shift your teeth and jaw into proper alignment, reducing the overbite without the need for metal braces. This comfortable and nearly invisible solution helps improve both function and appearance.

Overbite Teeth FAQ’S

  • What is an overbite?

    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.

  • Why is an overbite a concern?

    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.

  • Can Invisalign fix an overbite?

    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.

  • Is Invisalign comfortable for fixing an overbite?

    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.

  • Will my overbite return after Invisalign treatment?

    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.

  • Is Invisalign suitable for all types of overbites?

    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.
