Yes, Invisalign is highly effective at correcting most overbites, which occur when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too much. For moderate cases, your orthodontist will use “precision cuts” in the aligners to attach small elastic bands. These bands apply the necessary force to shift the upper and lower arches into a healthy relationship, much like the process used with traditional metal braces. There are also specialized features like “mandibular advancement” wings for growing patients that help guide the lower jaw forward. While very severe skeletal overbites might still require jaw surgery or traditional orthodontics, the vast majority of dental overbites can be successfully treated with clear aligners, resulting in a healthier bite and a more balanced facial profile.
