What can invisalign fix?

You have an overbite if the incisors of the upper jaw are displaced in front of the incisors of the lower jaw when you bite together. It is normal to have a small overbite, but with a large overbite, one can experience problems with wear on the teeth and pain in the jaws.

You have an underbite if the incisors of the lower jaw are displaced in front of the incisors in the upper jaw when you bite together. An underbite can make it difficult to bite together and make it difficult to speak. In addition, there is a risk of increased wear of the teeth and strain of the jaw joint.

You have a deep bite if the incisors of the upper jaw overlap the incisors of the lower jaw vertically when you bite together. A bite that is too deep can cause damage and wear to the teeth and gums due to increased contact between the teeth in the upper jaw, the teeth in the lower jaw, and the gums.

You have a crossbite if your upper jaw is too narrow relative to your lower jaw. This means that the teeth in the side will be offset horizontally relative to each other when you bite together. With overbites, there is a risk of increased wear of the teeth, as well as damage to the teeth. At the same time, you may find that parts of the gums recede, which can cause pain in the gums.

You have teeth with large gaps if there is excess space between two or more of the teeth in the jaw. Without adequate oral hygiene, large gaps between teeth can lead to the accumulation of food debris and plaque around the teeth. This can lead to soreness of the gums and ultimately gum disease.

You have a cramped position if there is not enough space in your jaw for all your teeth to be there, which will cause misalignment of your teeth. In the case of a cramped position, it can be difficult to keep your teeth clean of plaque, tartar and other bacteria. This increases the risk of caries and gum disease. In addition, cramped posture will often worsen over time.

As a child grows, so do their jaws and smiles. Therefore, the age of 6 to 10 years, when the child still has milk teeth, may be the optimal time for orthodontics. This type of treatment is a preventive treatment (interceptive treatment), which can prevent worsening of existing dentition problems and decrease the extent of later dental regulation therapy.

You have a frontal open bite if the incisors in the upper jaw and the incisors in the lower jaw do not make contact when you bite together. With an open bite, you may experience difficulty biting certain foods over, and you are forced to bite into the sides.
