Will Invisalign Correct an Overbite?

I have had great results with my correcting overbites with my patients.  I posted a picture in my profile of one of my more severe overbite cases that was corrected entirely with Invisalign.  I would caution you to make sure that you seek out a qualified cosmetic dentist or orthodontist before proceeding.  A good way to know if you have chosen a competent Invisalign dentist is by asking to see their before and after photos.  This is not a guarantee, but it is a pretty good indicator of what type of experience the dentist has with cases like yours.  If any dentist (orthodontist or general dentist) tells you that Invisalign won't work and you definitely need metal braces, be sure to seek a second opinion from a cosmetic dentist because we have a myriad of cosmetic adjustments that we can make to your teeth (such as veneers, bonding, etc.) that orthodontists and general dentists may simply not be able to offer.

Yes, Invisalign can certainly correct an overbite with great success. When Invisalign first came out a long time ago, for some reason, it developed a reputation for not being the best at fixing overbites. However, I have found overbite correction to be very predictable and successful. If considering Invisalign, I would highly recommend seeking treatment by a specialist with a high level of experience and expertise in fixing your individual bite issue.
Also, you should really watch your 3D virtual Invisalign simulation BEFORE you even start. This allows you to see your predicted results and overbite correction prior to putting in your first Invisalign tray. Throughout the Invisalign process, you can even  review this 3D simulation to ensure your teeth are tracking what the Invisalign simulation shows.
Also, for extreme overbites, you should not be surprised if your orthodontist recommends wearing removable rubber bands along with the Invisalign trays. In this situation, you would place your upper and lower Invisalign trays in your mouth and then add a small clear rubber band that hooks on easily from your top tray to your bottom tray. Typically, these rubber bands are worn on your side teeth, so they are barely visible. Furthermore, the rubber bands are often only worn while you are at home and sleeping. These rubber bands would be worn in a way to move your upper teeth back and your lower teeth forward to reduce your overbite.

As many have pointed out, the term "overbite" is often misused by patients to mean something else. An esthetic/normal bite will have some degree of overbite, meaning the top teeth will come out to overlap the lower teeth. Excessive overbite, which is termed "deep bite" or the opposite which is an "open bite" can be corrected with invisalign, depending on the patient, of course. Another condition, called "overjet" which is how far forward the top teeth come in relation to the bottom teeth can also be adjusted with invisalign. Invisalign does have its limitations and each case should be evaluated to determine if it is appropriate for invisalign or if traditional orthodontics may be needed.

Yes, in my opinion and experience Invisalign is capable of correcting an overbite just as well as braces. Please keep in mind Invisalign is a highly customizable treatment tool. The skills and expertise of the specialist who prescribed Invisalign has more to do with what Invisalign can or cannot do rather than the molded plastic itself.

Invisalign can definitely correct an overbite. Over the years I have treated many cases with similar problems and results were great. You will be happy too.

Yes ofcourse! Invisalign works wonderfully in correcting Deep Overbite. We have many patients at our practice whose deep bites have been corrected with Invisalign. However, Retainers after the treatment are a must as relapse can happen. The best part about Invisalign is that you can get a video made of your before and after before starting the treatment. That ways you also get the confidence that it would definitely work.
Warm Regards

Yes, with proper planning by the Doctor and the appropriate use of aligners by the patient, it is definitely possible for Invisalign to correct both overbite and overjet. I have successfully corrected both of these using Invisalign.

Yes. Overbites can be corrected using Invisalign with
aligner compliance by the patient and proper treatment planning by an
orthodontist.

So the question is can an overbite be corrected with
invisalign…the answer is absolutely yes.It certainly does depend on how severe of an overbite it is…and careful
evaluation needs to occur.In our office
we actually team up with a group of orthodontists that will help to make sure
that our treatment plan is on point and it can be evaluated in advance to make
sure.But it does work very very well
and again retention or wearing retainers afterwards will be of absolute need to
make sure that it stays the way it is.

Overbites can be treated and eliminated using Invisalign. In my practice, I have accomplished reducing and eliminating deep overbites with my patients who use Invisalign. It is very important that the prescription that is initially written to the Invisalign technician is very specific with regard to all of the orthodontic changes that are desired. You should feel comfortable to discuss all of the changes that you desire with your orthodontist prior to the beginning of your treatment so that your doctor is aware and can relate those desires to the Invisalign technician.
