I Have a Rather Large Overbite with Crowded Lower Teeth. Would I Be a Good Candidate for Invisalign? (photo)

Large overbites need more than braces or Invisalign.  Your situation will need functional facial orthopedic structural changes.  You have a complex situation, very overclosed, narrow dental arches, extensive wear on anterior teeth.  You likely have a major clenching problem with headaches, and neck/back problems all do to the relationship of your teeth and jaw structures.  This is too complex to evaluate overall treatment on this site but if you are inclined to do some research on this, you could read my book "Straight Talk about Crooked Teeth"available on Amazon.  The book shows examples of deep bite cases on pages 54 and 153.  Good luck to you.

This is the the key to correcting a case like yours with Invisalign: notice your lower canine teeth, they are positioned inward relative to the back teeth. Invisalign works very well at proclining teeth, leaning them forward or outward. I envision proclining and expanding your lower cuspids, which would prop your bite open, improving the overbite. Less overbite means room to procline and uncrowd your lower teeth. During treatment you may develop an open bite in the back, which may close on it's own depending on your age, tongue position etc, or may need to be corrected with elastics.

Seek a consultation with an experienced Invisalign Orthodontist in your area. Expect treatment for both arches. Single arch treatment typically complicates the orthodontics in the vast majority of cases.

If you only want to align your lower front teeth Invisalign will work.  However, your major overbite will remain largely uncorrected.  So the time and money you spend on orthodontics will not go as far toward improving the long term health of your teeth and jaw as it could.  If you do just Invisalign and then switch dentists, expect the following conversation .... Dr:  "You need to see an orthodontist to corrrect your overbite."  You:  "I already spent $5000 and used up my insurance benefits aligning my bottom teeth."  It's up to you, of course, and you will benefit from getting several opinions about your case.
