How Does Invisalign Correct an Overbite?

Without a photo of your teeth is kind of hard to give a straight answer. Invisalign can correct overbite and crowding. It has some limitations, there so much you can do with Invisalign. Sometines an Orthodontist can do combination of both type of braces, and finish up with Invisalign. Most of the Orthodontist consultation are free, and it is worth going.

Invisalign may be able to improve minor overbites, but if your overbite is significant, Invisalign may not be capable of correcting it.  If your canine, or "eye" teeth are in a "class II" bite (your orthodontist can determine if this is the case) braces may be an effective approach to correcting the bite.  Your best bet is to have a consultation with an orthodontist who has experience with both Invisalign and braces to determine what will best accomplish your goals.

Often the overbite that patients are concerned about is fixed when the teeth are in ideal arch form.  This is assuming the overbite is minor.  More significant overbite often requires elastics (rubber bands) or other methods to advance the lower jaw.

Sometimes when deciding on treatment, an overbite is left "as is" and not fixed.  While this is a compromise in treatment, many patients feel it is an acceptable compromise and are willing to not address this.
