Read on to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, Can Invisalign Fix Bite Problems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer is \u201cyes!\u201d Over the last two decades, Invisalign has helped patients with the following bite problems improve their self-esteem, oral health, and more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Overbites<\/strong> \u2013 While your upper teeth should sit in front of your lower ones, they shouldn\u2019t jut out significantly. If that\u2019s the case, then you should explore your orthodontic treatment options, like Invisalign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Underbites <\/strong>\u2013 If your lower teeth sit in front of your upper ones, you can experience numerous problems, including chronic jaw pain. Fortunately, Invisalign is often an option for patients with mild to moderate cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crossbites<\/strong> \u2013 Do some of your upper teeth sit behind your lower ones? If so, you may have a crossbite, which can negatively impact the look and health of your smile. So, don\u2019t hesitate to schedule a consultation and see if Invisalign is a solution!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open Bites<\/strong> \u2013 When you bite down, your upper and lower teeth should come together evenly. If they don\u2019t, then you likely have an open bite. The good news is that Invisalign can correct mild to moderate cases of this bite problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Inside Look at the Treatment Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and your dentist decide that Invisalign is the best orthodontic treatment for you, then they will create your custom treatment plan and take impressions of your teeth. Then, they will have a series of clear aligners made, which will gradually bring your teeth and your bite into proper alignment. Depending on the severity of your case, attachments, rubber bands, and buttons may be necessary as well, but don\u2019t worry \u2013 these orthodontic accessories still aren\u2019t as noticeable as traditional braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve worked through your entire series of aligners, and you\u2019re happy with your results, we will give you a custom retainer. This orthodontic appliance plays a crucial role in preserving your results. So, make sure that you wear it as directed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Find Out If You\u2019re a Candidate for Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are ready to leave misaligned teeth and an uneven bite in the past, there\u2019s only one thing left to do: schedule an Invisalign consultation! Once your dentist has a chance to conduct a comprehensive oral exam, review your dental history, and learn all about your smile goals, they can determine if clear aligners are ideal for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacedental.com\/\">Pace Dental<\/a>, we want you to have a smile that\u2019s healthy and beautiful.
