I would like a second opinion: My Dentist claims he doesn't do overcorrection in Invisalign treatment, is this an issue?

October 15, 2020
Asked By:chequetere in Great Britain, GB

The animation of my Invisalign treatment shows 3 final weeks of overcorrection. My dentist told me he "doesn't do overcorrection" as he claims this requires filing the teeth too much. Am I going to miss out of an important part of my treatment? Thank you.

It is difficult to tell without a full workup, but clear braces can close anterior open bites. It would be best if you got a consultation with an orthodontist.
