Possibly: But there is no clear cut answer to your question. It depends on the severity of your malocclusion and the treatment preferences of your orthodontist. Seek a consultation with a local orthodontist (who can actually examine you) for guidance as to what might work best in your situation.

Yes: We treat many overbites with invisalign. It does depend on the severity however. Discuss with your orthodontist.

Not a good choice: Clear aligners not particularly effective for overbite control. Braces are still the gold standard, in the hands of a qualified Orthodontic Specialist >90% effective, aligners
