Can clear aligners fix a severe overbite or jaw misalignment?

Clear aligners are a discreet, comfortable way to correct mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, and because every smile is unique, we always perform a complete evaluation before providing treatment options.

However, a severe overbite or jaw misalignment usually requires traditional braces or a combination of traditional braces and clear aligner therapy.

What Can Clear Aligners Correct?

Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces, and they might be able to successfully treat these issues, as long as they aren’t too severe:

  • Crowding — If your teeth don’t have enough room in your mouth, they can overlap or twist. Aligners may be a good solution.
  • Gaps or spacing — Aligners can sometimes close unwanted spaces between your teeth.
  • Overbite or underbite — If your upper front teeth overlap over your lower teeth, or your lower front teeth are in front of your upper front teeth, aligners may be able to correct these issues.
  • Crossbite — For upper and lower jaw misalignment, aligners could correct the problem.
  • Open bite — If your upper and lower teeth don’t touch when you close your mouth, aligners could help.
