Which Orthodontic Issues Can Invisalign Correct?

Invisalign is a popular option for orthodontic treatments in Monroe, NY for correcting misaligned teeth. The clear plastic aligners from Invisalign has helped over five million orthodontic patients around the world help fix crooked teeth, crowding, overbites and other malocclusions conditions in Orange County. 

Which Orthodontic Issues Can Invisalign Treat?

The following issues can be treated by Invisalign in some patients, but not all, depending on the severity or if there are a combination of issues:

Crooked Teeth

If you are looking to straighten your crooked teeth, Invisalign is an option.

Overbite

An overbite (when the upper teeth close too far in front of the bottom teeth) can make it difficult to chew and bite into some foods. In some cases, Invisalign can be used to move teeth so that the top and bottom teeth align properly when your mouth is closed.

Underbite

An underbite (when bottom teeth are in front of upper teeth) can cause your teeth to wear more quickly and create difficulties with speech. Invisalign can be used to move the lower teeth back so they naturally sit behind the front teeth.  

Crossbite

A crossbite is when some upper teeth sit inside lower teeth rather than outside. It may cause your teeth to chip and wear down and even cause gums to recede. Invisalign can be used to move incorrectly positioned teeth into the right place and treat a crossbite.

Gaps 

If you have a gap between two or more teeth, you have a spacing issue. This condition has a problem with food getting caught between teeth and gums and may cause gum disease. Invisalign can close the gaps to create a healthier mouth and a more aesthetic smile. However, there are some limitations to how much space needs to be closed. 

Open Bite

Invisalign can fix an open bite. This is when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet. Invisalign corrects this misalignment by moving upper and lower teeth into position so they close correctly.

Crowded Teeth

When there is not enough room in the jaw to accommodate all of your teeth, they can overlap and twist, this is known as crowding. Invisalign may correct some cases of crowded teeth, depending on the severity and complexity of the problem.

Malocclusion of the Teeth

What is Malocclusion?

Malocclusion means the teeth are not aligned properly. Misaligned teeth usually develop during childhood habits as well as an inherited condition and can be passed down from one generation to the next. 
 
Symptoms may include discomfort or difficulty while chewing. Treatments of malocclusion, misaligned teeth include orthodontics with braces and repair of irregular teeth for patients in Monroe, NY and Orange County.

Different Types of Malocclusion

There are different types of malocclusions, from crooked teeth, overbites to underbites. 

Crossbite

A crossbite is where your upper teeth bite inside your lower teeth. It can affect your front or back teeth.

Diastema

A diastema is a space between two teeth, usually the front teeth. 

Impacted tooth

An impacted tooth is one that’s unable to erupt through the gum normally. It is blocked from breaking through the gum. 

Missing tooth

Missing teeth, or hypodontia, may occur as a result of teeth not developing properly or through some kind of trauma.

Overcrowding

Overcrowding is caused by a lack of space, resulting in teeth that are crooked and overlap. It’s the most common reason for orthodontic treatment among adults.

Overjet

An overjet is where your top teeth extend past your bottom teeth horizontally (not to be confused with an overbite). 

Overbite

An overbite can cause your front teeth to bite down onto your gums.

Open bite

An open bite is where the front teeth don’t overlap the lower teeth. An open bite affecting the front teeth is known as an anterior open bite.

Spacing

Spacing can occur between two or more teeth. Some of the causes can include missing teeth, small teeth, tongue thrusting, and thumb sucking.

Underbite

A crossbite that affects the front teeth is known as an anterior crossbite, or perhaps more commonly as an underbite.
