Yes, in some cases you can. Especially because part of the All-on-4 protocol involves bone reshaping and reduction, which in the mandible, helps bring back the position of the implants. This, in turn, can help realign the relationship between the upper and lower teeth so that the underbite is eliminated.
In most situations if all the teeth are removed the tooth to tooth position can be changed. This has to be tested in a prototype before the final teeth are made.Wish you all the best
This depends on how severe your underbite is. It would help if you could post a profile photo with your mouth closed and teeth in normal bite, and another photo with your teeth touching (normal bite) and your lips grinning. These would give me an idea as to what correction may be possible. I hope this helps.Dr Le
Hi:In order to give you accurate advice I would need to see profile pictures to see the amount of underbite and X-rays to see the level and the amount of bone. In general there is a possiblity of handling overbite and underbite issues with all on 4 implants.Best,Dr. Maddahi
Without SEEING the case, it is hard to say, but in general, if all teeth are being restored or replaced then the bite can be changed. Bone volume will be the limiting factor.
Good question! More than likely if youre a long term denture wearer, resportion in the jaw bone causes you to develop an underbite over time. With All-on-4 treatment, patients in our practice like yourself often can have some of their facial bone loss compensated with the implant-supported teeth. This means that it will likely restore your facial profile to before the bone loss happened, and sometimes that means correcting the underbite!If youve always had an underbite, it might be more of a skeletal predispositon and might not be corrected with just All-on-4 treatment.
Hi, I suspect you have already had this managed by an experienced implant dentist by now, since your time of asking your question. If not, rest assured that as long as the All-on-4 implants are suitably positioned, the teeth can be removed, modified/corrected or even changed and re-inserted...
With the all on 4 (TM) procedure there are two phases 1. Temporary phase where teeth are provided the same day as the implants - In this phase you should restrict yourself to a soft diet whilst the implants are healing. Nothing crunchy, hard or chewy. 2. Final phase - Once your implants have...
I think the opposite is true. Less hissing and spitting with the All-on-Four because of the better fit and less movement of the replacement teeth. If you don't want a removable solution, the All-on-Four is one of your best options.
It depends on the placement and position of the implants. The abutments which connect the implants to the bridge would have to be changed. Also, the bridge would likely have to be converted to an overdenture. The All-on-Four bridge is the most ideal option.
Hi and Thank you for you question: There are many factors that affect the esthetics of any denture even if supported by implants. There needs to be a consideration to the lip line at rest, the smile line and the soft tissue support provided by the denture. The best option you have at this...
Hi there, thank you for your question. Fluoride is not necessary because you don't have natural teeth. There are certain ceramics used with the All-on-4 whereby the dentist is also going to advise you not to use abrasive toothpaste because it can roughen the surface of the ceramics....
