Does It Take Longer to Correct an Overbite with Invisalign?

The average treatment time for Invisalign cases is 1 year according to Align Technology (makers of Invisalign). Conventional braces will treat similar cases in similar time. HOWEVER, there are many dental problems that Invisalign is NOT ideally suited to treat and deep overbites is one of them. You should consult with a dentist or orthodontist who is more than happy to use either treatment options in order to get an honest and accurate opinion about which treatment option is best for you. If you consult with a dentist who only does Invisalign it's like the proverbial repairman who only has a hammer in his tool bag and therefore uses a hammer to try and fix everything. 

While length of treatment is important to patients AND the treating doctor, what should ultimately dictate the treatment length is resolving all of the patient's concerns and giving the patient a beautiful AND highly functional smile and bite. 

Good luck!

Invisalign ABSOLUTELY corrects over - bite faster and with far, far, less discomfort  then the use of conventional braces.There are several irrefutable reasons for this: the first is that being a "pushing " appliance (it works as you bite into it) the dual benefits is that over- bite is easily corrected by depressing (intruding) your front teeth,while simultaneously  elevating (extruding) your back teeth. However, mantaining (keeping) this over- bite reduction HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER INVISALIGN,OR REGULAR BRACES ARE USED! The sole determinant of post treatment stability appears to be  essentially genetic, as most studies have resulted in  one irrefutable conclusion:40% of all orthodontic cases treated (whether by Invisalign or conventional braces) will have a tendency to revert to their original tooth positions.granted this return is usually only a partial one,to minimize this tendency in my practice, 100% of all of my invisalign cases are given retainers. their use and duration is the topic of another question

It doesnt take any longer to correct a deep overbite with invisalign..You will need to have 4 attachments placed on the side teeth to hold the aligners in place while the teeth are pushed back into place. Totally the way to go tho so you dont have to have metal brackets..
