That\u2019s right \u2013 you could solve your overbite, underbite, or other jaw-related issues with the comfort and convenience of clear aligners. To learn more about how it works, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Types of Bite Issues Can Invisalign Correct?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By \u201cbite issue,\u201d dentists generally mean that your jaw is positioned in such a way that your teeth don\u2019t sit evenly at rest. This often makes it difficult to chew effectively, and can result in discomfort while eating. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have an <strong>overbite<\/strong>, your upper set of pearly whites jut out farther than your lower set. Unless you\u2019re planning on being the next Freddie Mercury, you\u2019ll likely want to have this problem fixed to avoid complications!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similarly, an <strong>underbite <\/strong>means your lower teeth jut out farther than your upper teeth. Fortunately, Invisalign can realign your teeth and jaw to improve both your comfort and your smile aesthetics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crossbites <\/strong>aren\u2019t as common as the other two bite issues. This is when upper teeth rest just behind their lower counterparts, or vise-versa. This type of malocclusion can exert awkward pressure on your pearly whites, and Invisalign can give you the space your pearly whites need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let\u2019s say your upper and lower teeth don\u2019t touch or overlap at all \u2013 then you still have a bite issue called <strong>open bite<\/strong>. This can be a trickier case to correct, but Invisalign can get the job done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, Invisalign is capable of fixing mild to moderate misalignments. In other words, the vast majority of bite issues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Am I A Good Candidate for Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s only one way to know for sure: schedule a consultation with your dentist. It can be difficult to assess the state of your own teeth and jaw structure, but with the help of some X-rays and professional skills, a dentist can tell you whether clear aligners can improve your smile. The sooner you start Invisalign, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of perfectly straight pearly whites, so pick up the phone and call your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have four exceptional dentists at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolfedental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Wolfe Dental Hillsboro<\/a>, including not one, but two Invisalign experts.
