How Effective Will Invisalign Be in Correcting an Anterior Open Bite?

Of course, it depends on how open the bite actually is. If it's minor, and there is room, I have seen excellent results with invisalign alone. If there is a major opening, however, and the teeth have to be extruded, then rubber bands will be necessary in conjunction with the invisalign.

If you are ok with (a likely) additional fee of 2000-5000 to finish you case with Invisalign, it is worth looking into.

If you weren't able to correct your open bite with rubber bands and braces it is very unlikely it will happen with Invisalign alone. Open bites are one of the most complicated bite to fix period. Invisalign has made great advances in successfully treating open bites, but still not as predicable as traditional braces

Rubber bands and TADs (temporary anchorage devices) can be used with Invisalign to help it. Surgical assistance it sometimes needed to help fully correct an open bite. That said even surgery has some relapse.

 

If you have been wearing your rubber bands faithfully and your bite has not progressed, consider visiting a speech pathologist for an evaluation of a hidden tongue thrust. Personally I would do that first.

Unfortunately invisalign is not very effective in anterior open bite correction.  This correction is often difficult to achieve even with conventional orthodontics unless the cause of the open bite is determined.  Mouth breathing and resultant tongue thrust are often the cause.  Nasal patency, allergies as well as tonsils and adenoids should be evaluated prior to initiating treatment to correct this problem.
