Why Should I Fix My Bite?
An abnormal bite can lead to a myriad of problems, some of which include:
- Speech difficulties
- Social anxiety
- Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)
- Excessive wear and tear on your teeth
The mouth is designed so that the teeth will match up correctly; however, when this is not the case, you can experience chronic jaw pain as well as problems feeling confident in your appearance, thus, increasing your fear and anxiety of being in social gatherings.
How Can Invisalign Correct My Bite?
Invisalign uses clear aligner technology to move and shift your teeth in the right direction. While it might seem impossible at first, you’ll quickly notice throughout your treatment just how incredible these clear braces are at improving your smile.
If you have any of the following bite problems, you can find relief with Invisalign:
- Overbite: If your upper teeth protrude outward over your bottom teeth, you have what is known as an overbite.
- Underbite: Just the opposite of an overbite is an underbite, which is when the lower teeth are pushed forward while the top teeth remain pushed back.
- Crossbite: If you have teeth that overlap when closing your mouth, this is known as a crossbite. You can experience severe wear and tear to your teeth should you have this type of bite.
- Open Bite: If you were prone to thumb-sucking or pacifiers as a child, these might be the reason for your open bite. This occurs when the teeth don’t come together when you close your mouth.
- Dental Midlines: Dental midlines affect the back of your bite, which can cause TMD or other jaw-related problems.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
The only way to know for sure if Invisalign is right for you is to allow one of our highly-trained and skilled dentists to examine your smile. In most situations, patients are eligible; however, if a particular case is too severe, traditional metal braces might be the only viable solution to fixing the problem.
