With an edge to edge bite the teeth can wear down over time and the short teeth can resemble an old denture smile and hence make you look older. The edge to edge bite is usually present when the upper and jaws are the same length. Now you don't always need surgery to correct this; just Ortho. This lady had Invisalign over 15 months and we reversed her edge bite into a normal beautiful class 1 bite.
