Can my overbite be treated with Invisalign alone? Do I have a recessed chin and can Invisalign impact this? (photos)

James232Mar 14, 2023
I recently went to an orthodontist for an Invisalign consultation where I was told that my overbite can be corrected with Invisalign alone. It is my understanding that an overbite can either be dental or skeletal, which dictates the need for surgery or not. Based on the images provided, does my case look like it can be treated with Invisalign alone? Additionally, do I appear to have a recessed chin, and if so, to what degree? If surgery is necessary, what do you recommend for me specifically?

Yes, this is a problem. Your back teeth should touch slightly before your front teeth do. the back teeth are stronger snd need to touch for chewing efficiency. When the front touch first they can splay out and make your smile less attractive.
