There are many issues dental aligners can fix, including an overbite and an underbite. Read on to find out more.
Dental issues are no fun, but they can be fixed. If you've ever had braces, then you know how annoying it is to spend years with metal wire in your mouth. Braces may have solved the problem of crooked teeth, but they certainly aren't comfortable or attractive. Luckily there's a new solution on the market for people who want their smiles perfect without spending years wearing braces: teeth aligners! Teeth Aligners are removable plastic trays that fit over your teeth and gradually shift them into place so that your smile is straight within weeks instead of months or even years. They're nearly invisible and much more comfortable than traditional braces because you can eat whatever you want while wearing them, plus they're removable if anything goes wrong! There are many dental issues that can be fixed using clear dental aligners, and we will outline them here in this article:
Overbite
An overbite is when your upper teeth are in front and overlap your bottom front teeth. If you have an overbite, then it could be causing problems with your jaw or even your bite! Overbites tend to get worse over time because the jawbone slowly shifts into place to accommodate for misaligned teeth.
Underbite
An underbite is when the lower teeth are in front and protrude past your upper teeth. Underbites also tend to get worse over time because the jawbone slowly shifts into place to accommodate for misaligned teeth, in a similar way to an overbite.
Gappy Teeth
Some people have gaps in their teeth, which can be unsightly and also cause problems with your bite. Gaps are caused when there is a lack of gum tissue between teeth, the teeth don't align correctly or the teeth have been worn down over time.
Overcrowded Teeth
Overcrowded teeth are when there is not enough space for all of your teeth to align correctly. Overcrowding can sometimes be solved with braces, but it will take much longer than if you were to use an aligner treatment. If you get overcrowded teeth fixed using aligners, then the process may only take 6 weeks!
