Bite with Invisalign

Hello, It is a normal feeling. Do not be worry. The bite will come back to normal after a couple of aligners. Sincerely, Dr. Barba

Invisalign moves teeth and changes happen to the bite also

Bite changes with Invisalign

Any type of orthodontics (wire or aligners) will change your bite. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. This may be the case for you.

Invisalign can make your bite feel different

Hi- Invisalign can make your bite feel different as you are now biting on the aligner surface. Your bite will be changing as your teeth move. Having not seen your case it is hard to comment on your bite being way off and the future of your invisalign treatment.  You should ask your invisalign doctor about this as well as ask him/her to show you the invisalign movie of how your teeth started and how they are going to finish.
