Invisalign can correct a variety of dental issues, though its effectiveness depends on the severity of the case. Here are some common problems Invisalign can help with:
1. Crowded Teeth
When there isn’t enough space in the jaw, teeth can overlap or become misaligned. Invisalign gradually moves them into a straighter position.
2. Gaps Between Teeth
Small or large gaps between teeth can be closed with Invisalign, improving both aesthetics and oral health by reducing food traps and gum exposure.
3. Overbite (Upper teeth overlap lower teeth too much)
Invisalign can shift the upper teeth back to reduce the excessive overlap, which helps prevent excessive wear on teeth.
4. Underbite (Lower teeth protrude past upper teeth)
Mild to moderate underbites can be corrected by guiding the lower jaw into a better position. Severe cases may require additional treatments.
5. Crossbite (Upper and lower teeth don’t align properly)
This happens when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside. Invisalign helps reposition them to prevent uneven wear and jaw discomfort.
6. Open Bite (Upper and lower teeth don’t touch)
Invisalign can help close the gap between upper and lower teeth, making chewing more effective.
7. Mild to Moderate Misalignment
Even if there are no major bite issues, Invisalign can straighten slightly crooked or misaligned teeth for a more even smile.
