Misaligned bites like crossbite, overbite, and underbite aren’t just aesthetic concerns—they can significantly impact oral function, long-term dental health, and even overall facial harmony. Fortunately, patients today have access to advanced, non-invasive treatment options like Invisalign, which offers a discreet and comfortable solution to correct a variety of bite issues.
At Vinnova Dental, we proudly provide cutting-edge orthodontic treatment with Invisalign aligners to patients in Albury, Wodonga, Thurgoona, and Wangaratta. This guide highlights real Invisalign Before and After outcomes for bite corrections and why more patients are choosing clear aligners over traditional braces.
Understanding Bite Issues and Why They Matter
Crossbite, Overbite, and Underbite Explained
What Is a Crossbite?
A crossbite happens when one or more upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when the mouth is closed. This condition can affect the front teeth, back teeth, or both.
Potential problems caused by a crossbite:
- Uneven wear of teeth
- Gum recession
- TMJ discomfort
- Asymmetrical jaw growth in children
What Is an Overbite?
An overbite, also known as a deep bite, occurs when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth vertically.
Consequences of an untreated overbite include:
- Excessive tooth wear
- Jaw pain and tension
- Speech difficulties
- Aesthetic imbalances
What Is an Underbite?
An underbite is when the lower front teeth sit ahead of the upper front teeth. It’s typically caused by either jaw misalignment or abnormal tooth positions.
Common effects of an underbite:
- Difficulty biting and chewing
- Facial appearance imbalance
- Increased risk of tooth damage
How Invisalign Works for Bite Correction
Invisalign aligners are custom-fitted trays made of smooth, BPA-free plastic. These aligners gently shift your teeth into position through a planned series of movements.
Key Benefits of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces:
- Discreet: Clear design makes them nearly invisible
- Comfortable: No metal brackets or wires to irritate the mouth
- Convenient: Removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
- Hygienic: Easier to maintain oral health throughout treatment
- Customised: Designed with digital precision for each patient’s needs
Modern advancements in clear aligner technology have made it possible to treat complex malocclusions, including moderate crossbite, overbite, and underbite cases.
What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment at Vinnova Dental
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We assess your bite alignment, oral health, and smile goals. We determine your eligibility for Invisalign on teeth based on the complexity of your condition.
Step 2: 3D Digital Scanning
Using iTero or similar advanced scanners, we capture precise digital impressions to map out the step-by-step tooth movements. You’ll preview your smile’s potential outcome before committing.
Step 3: Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your personalised Invisalign braces (aligners) are fabricated in a certified lab and shipped to our clinic. Each set is worn for 1-2 weeks as your teeth gradually shift.
Step 4: Progress Monitoring
We monitor your bite changes every 6-8 weeks and provide new sets of aligners. Adjustments to your treatment plan may be made depending on how your teeth respond.
Step 5: Final Results & Retainers
Once alignment is complete, we provide a custom retainer to preserve your new bite and smile.
