You may know of traditional braces with their metal wires and brackets. They are common in orthodontics, but did you know another treatment is becoming just as popular? Invisalign clear aligners<\/a> are a discreet and removable option, meaning they don\u2019t look obvious and fit into your lifestyle. This convenience makes people wonder if they work just as well to fix bite issues. Keep reading to learn whether or not this is the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, Will Invisalign Fix My Bite Problems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, Invisalign can help fix a wide range of bite problems! This treatment works by applying a gentle but consistent pressure on your teeth to move them. It helps shift your smile, and it’s especially helpful for those with mild to moderate cases of malocclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, underbites and overbites are common issues that people deal with. These affect how your teeth sit against each other, which can lead to jaw-related problems and discomfort. Clear aligners can fix them, but you may need to use rubber bands with your trays. This will help shift your bite into a healthier one!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open bites and crossbites are other types of orthodontic issues that may be corrected with Invisalign. These issues can make it harder for you to chew through your food and often can spell bad news as you get older. Thankfully, this type of treatment can be beneficial for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, if you have a severe malocclusion, then traditional braces may be better for you. While it may not sound ideal, it can prove to be fruitful in helping you get a smile that you feel more confident in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Invisalign Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have any of these types of orthodontic issues above, then you may wonder how you can start Invisalign. The only way you can tell if you are a good candidate is by scheduling a consultation with your dentist. They will be able to examine your mouth and take X-rays to see what movements need to be made to give you a healthier bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s likely that if you have a mild to moderate case, you can get Invisalign. Once you get the green light, then you can start your path toward an aligned smile that you feel more confident in. However, if you aren’t able to, then you can trust your dentist can help you find the best way to get a grin that you’re proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
