Hi, my dentist said Invisalign would be able to fix my underbite. He said that the bottom teeth will be bended backward to let the top teeth bite over it. Before making a decision I would like to understand a bit more and get different opinions. Would Invisalign fix the frowned lip I have whenever I bit my teeth all the way?
