You should get Invisalign for mild to moderate overbite problems. Severe cases are carefully reviewed for possible "back teeth bite" and skeletal problems

This time, I went to a different dentist and he said that I should have the invalign done first and see if any more actions needed to get my jaw fixed. It's too shaky because there is no sure answer.
