I went to my orthodontist a few weeks ago and he told me I am a good candidate for invisalign. He is pretty experienced when it comes to treatment.
I am really scared because everyone says that invisalign can only fix minor problems. My treatment costs $6500 and I don't want all that money to go down the drain. To describe my overbite.. (thumbsucker) I can stick an inch of my index finger in my mouth with a closed jaw. Today is my first day with the aligners in and I want to know will they work?
It sounds like what you describe (from an oral habit in the past, in this case thumbsucking) would be normally fine with Invisalign. The way an overbite is determined really is by looking at how the upper and lower molars meet. The molars can be normal and have what you describe.
Odds are, you will be fine and have a successful outcome.
