How effective is invisalign in treating a deep overbite?

24 doctors weighed in across 10 answers

It is effective: Most conditions that require orthodontic treatment can be accomplished with invisalign. The length of treatment depends on the complexity of what needs to be done. Not all dentists or orthodontists are comfortable with this mode of care so seek one who is experienced and skilled in this area.

Depends on Degree : Invisalign can correct deep bite up to 5 mm with ease. Once deep bite increases to more than 5 mm, the treatment will need modification with invisalign or traditional braces.

Define Overbite...: Many laypersons will call the protrusion of the upper front teeth an overbite, the dental profession calls this overjet. Invisalign struggles with overjet as elastics are generally required to correct this bite issue. Overbite is the vertical overlap of the upper and lower front teeth. Invisalign is fairly effective at intruding teeth and correcting overbite (verticle dimension).

Very effective: In deep bite situations regular braces are a problem as the upper teeth often collide with the lower brackets. With invisalign it is a non-issue and overbite correction is much easier, faster and very predictable and effective.

Moderate: Clear aligners are not as efficient at producing intrusive movements as braces. Please see a qualified Orthodontic Specialist who can evaluate your problem set and prescribe the most efficient and effective treatment for you.

Depends: if it is very deep, invislaign may not be the right treatment method. I would consult an orthodontist who can assess how deep and what the best treatment options will be

Effective: However, Invisalign doesn't make the best choice for correcting all types of deep overbite, malocclusion or orthodontic disorders. See your orthodontist for examination, imaging and treatment options.
