Invisalign Clear Aligners are a popular solution for straightening teeth in a more discreet way than bulky braces of the past. The process involves a series of custom aligners that are placed over the teeth to shift them to the proper position over time.
Of course, many people choose to get Invisalign to straighten crooked or gapped teeth. But did you know that Invisalign can fix a variety of other smile issues?

What else can Invisalign do?
Invisalign Clear Aligners are also a great solution for an overbite, an underbite and a crossbite.
When you have an overbite, which is when the top teeth extend forward too far, it can not only be unappealing aesthetically, but it can also cause issues with speaking and eating and even cause gum disease to develop. Invisalign works to shift teeth back to the correct position, correcting the overbite.
An underbite, conversely, occurs when your lower teeth are protruding further than the uppers. Similar to an overbite, it can cause chewing, eating and speaking issues. Invisalign can work to reposition teeth over time, offering an aligned bite.
And a crossbite, which is when the upper and lower teeth do not align when you bite down, can cause difficulty eating and also difficulty brushing teeth. This can lead to gum disease and tooth decay and also TMJ. Invisalign can also address a crossbite and work to align the teeth and bite properly.
