What is an Overbite?
Overbite is a misalignment of the bite causing the upper front teeth to mostly or entirely cover the lower front teeth.
*Treatable by an Orthodontist
Causes
Overbites are normally the result of having a small lower jaw. The lower front teeth may bite into the roof of the mouth and experience crowding issues as a result of the poor alignment.
If you don’t fix it
Because an overbite is a jaw alignment problem, not just a teeth alignment problem, depending on the severity your orthodontist may want to first correct the jaw alignment, using a Motion 3D appliance or another method, before finishing your treatment with Reveal® Clear Aligners.
How to correct an Overbite
Because an overbite is connected to jaw alignment problems, a clear aligner may not be sufficient to correct the problem. Some cases are treatable with aligners like Reveal®, however. If you have an overbite and want to see if you qualify for Reveal® aligners, contact a doctor near you.
