I went to an Invisalign provider and I told him all about my TMJ problems. I told him how my bite is off and I can't bite down because of how off it is. It changes from day to day. The orthodontist assured me he can fix my bite and has done it before. I was just wondering if Invisalign can really fix bite problems.

Answer: Yes, I would think Invisalign can fix bite and TMJ issues Invisalign can fix bite problems or at least diminish them. The TMJ issue could be caused by your imbalanced bite and would or could be fixed with Invisalign treatment. The aligners also act as a nite guard to prevent over-closing especially with patients that have a deep bite, one of the leading causes of TMJ syndrome.

Answer: Invisalign trays will rarely be the solution for TMD How severe is her TMD? What are her TMD symptoms? Where is her optimal "resting" bite position? Though made out of a hard material, are the Invisalign trays really thick enough to maintain a proper bite, and does the dental professional have the technology to ensure that she is addressing these issues? Nobody wants to hear the obligatory "I don't know..." but, it's true, there's too many unknowns to attempt to answer this question without a more thorough understand of her condition.

Answer: Invisalign trays can act as a Night or Bite Guard By moving teeth to their ideal position, Invisalign does correct bite issues. In many cases when the bite is corrected it can help with TMJ/TMD problems, not necessarily in all cases. Bite and TMJ issues may or may not be related. In some Invisalign cases, the aligners act as a Night or Bite guard and can relieve TMJ/TMD problems during treatment. Since every person is unique this has to be evaluated and treated on a case by case basis.
