Depends: Depends on the severity of the overbite. Usually you will get best and possibly fastest with traditional treatment. Overbite correction can be tricky and invisalign has only limited applications. Often people end up starting with invisalign and finishing with conventional treatment. Invisalign requires absolute compliance with wearing of the trays. Absolute.

Disccuss with Ortho: Trying to move teeth too quickly can result in problems to the teeth and supporting structures, not to mention the possibility of more pain and discomfort. Most orthodontists prefer using conventional orthodontic means to move teeth as they feel they have more control and fewer limitations. Discuss your wishes and options with an orthodontist who uses both conventional and invisalign techniques.

Invisalign: Invisalign is a pushing technology. Often with deep overbites there is little room to place brackets so treatment is done in a round about way and takes longer.

Overbite: In layman's terms, an "overbite" typically refers to the upper front teeth sticking out horizontally, further than the lower front teeth. An orthodontist defines an "overbite" as the vertical overlap of the upper front teeth over the lower front teeth. Get an opinion from an orthodontic specialist regarding the best and "quickest" option (it depends highly on the severity of your own problem).

Nope: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Invisalign, while up to less than 50% effective for minor problems, is less so for major ones. Traditional braces (and there are many new types) allow the fastest possible movement with the best possible result, generally at less cost than clear aligners. Make sure you see a qualified orthodontist, not a gp who dabbles in tooth movement.

No: Traditional braces will be faster than invisalign.
