A member asked:
How often does invisalign intrude molars leaving a patient with a bite wherein the anterior teeth absorb all of the bite and the back teeth separated?

2 reasons: Either the treating Dentist or specialist Orthodontist wants your back teeth apart as part of the overall treatment plan, or the case is out of control. Ask your practitioner. If you still have questions, seek a second opinion with an Orthodontic Specialist.

Specialist: as the other docs who have answered indicated, its not a bad idea to see an orthodontic specialist for a second opinion

I never fully rest my back teeth all the way down because it begins to hurt in the jaw and the back tooth. This might be due to finger sucking. Is this considered an overbite? Will Invisalign fix it - or will it cause a posterior open bite?
