I am 21 and I have a overjet. I did have braces with elastics when I was younger, but I didn't wear them as much as I should have, if at all. I did have some small correction done later when my front teeth were pushed back a bit from my dentist. The main reason I am addressing the issue is because it bothers me, and because it is unflattering to my profile. I am considering to take invisaligns with elastics to fix my overbite. I am not sure it would fix my profile. I don't want jaw surgery.

Answer: Overbite,overjet, elastics, and invisalign
You can find the aligner/tray number laser etched on the molar biting surface. The number is preceded by a U or L for upper and lower respectively. Good luck.
Hi Patty,I would suggest just making sure that you rinse and brush more regularly, while combating a cold. It is easier for bacteria to set-up or a virus to hang around on Invisalign trays, where normally, your saliva coat it and help pass it to your stomach to be destroyed by stomach acid...
