Will Invisalign Cause Bite to Be Off?

Your experienced Invisalign dentist or orthodontist will be able to straighten your teeth using Invisalign while keeping your bite in proper alignment. In fact, Invisalign is now effective at correcting a bite that is out of alignment. Discuss these issues with you provider during the consultation phase to make sure he or she feels comfortable keeping your bite healthy and aligned.

Whenever teeth are being moved using any type of orthodontics, during the actual tooth movement, your bite may feel different than it did before you started treatment. The teeth do not all move at the same time or at the same rate.

Eventually they catch up so that the bite should feel uniform and comfortable all around. A common misconception by patients is that the bite should feel the same before, during and after treatment. No matter what method of orthodontic tooth movement is instituted, the bite will temporarily feel “off”. This is to be expected.

Your bite can be off during and after Invisalign or ortho treatment. After all the teeth are moved into position then a full mouth bite adjustment is done to even the bite. Your Dentist or Orthodontist will do it at the end of treatment,if they dont then just ask them to do it.
