Tags: bite, candidate
Just went to the dentist today because one of my front teeth chipped on the back side. He said it was due to my end to end bite causing my teeth to impact each other all the time. They suggested Invisalign and I was wondering if anyone knew how well they worked on correcting my type of problem.

Yes Invisalign can correct edge to edge bite.

Invislaign May help with and Edge to edge bite

Invisalign can correct an edge to edge bite
Invisalign can correct an edge to edge bite. Closing the space both dental arches can help the process to get an ideal bite. The upper teeth appear that they could need some flaring to help also.

Looks straightforward
It appears there is more space on the lower than the upper, As the lower spaces are closed the end to end bite will be resolved. It appears you have a Class I malocclusion so once the spaces are closed the bite should be good. Another factor is the edges of the uppers seem to be tucked in. As those edges are brought out towards the lips your bite will be further corrected. This is assuming the pictures you show are taken with the jaw in the proper position and you are not thrusting forward...

Invisalign is able to treat the overjet of your occlusion
Both Invisalign and traditional braces are able to solve your problom. I see the crowding at the bottom , Tooth # 26 overlap the lateral so you might need some extra space at the bottom which can acquired by arch expansion. The final diagnosis is based on the space analysis or check the clinchek.
