Foreboding – treatment with Invisalign overlays
An anterior occlusion is a malocclusion in which the lower teeth or mandible protrude in front of the upper teeth. It can affect facial aesthetics, chewing and bite function. In selected cases, forebite can be treated with modern orthodontic trays, such as Invisalign.
An overbite is one of the malocclusions also described in our guide: what malocclusions Invisalign treats. If you want to learn more about the overlay treatment itself, see the Invisalign Wroclaw page.
What might treatment of an anterior bite with overlays look like?
The following visualization shows how the alignment of teeth and the relationship between the arches can change during treatment. In practice, each treatment plan is prepared individually – taking into account the type of defect, its severity and the patient’s anatomical conditions.
In Invisalign treatment, tooth movement is planned digitally, including using ClinCheck. The overlays, made of SmartTrack™ material, support precise guidance of planned movements, but it is always determined by an orthodontic consultation and thorough diagnostics whether such a method will be suitable for an anterior bite.
Can an anterior bite be treated with Invisalign?
In selected cases, yes. The possibility of treatment depends on the severity of the defect, the alignment of the teeth, the relationship between the maxilla and mandible, and individual bite conditions. During an orthodontic consultation, we will assess whether overlay treatment will be a good option and show you what effect can realistically be planned.
