Understanding Underbites: A Common Issue

Invisalign Cardiff: welcome to our guide on how Invisalign can be used to tackle underbites. Before we delve into the details of how Invisalign works for underbites, let’s take a moment to understand what an underbite is. An underbite happens when the lower front teeth stick out more than the upper front teeth. This misalignment isn’t just about looks; it can affect how you talk, eat, and even cause discomfort. Fixing an underbite is about more than appearance; it’s about promoting the proper function and overall health of your mouth.

Is Invisalign Effective for Underbites?

Absolutely! Invisalign has shown its effectiveness in treating underbites. The process involves using custom-made clear aligners that gently guide your teeth into better alignment over time. By applying controlled pressure, these aligners gradually move your teeth into positions that correct the underbite issue. Our experienced team at Park Place Dental is skilled in evaluating underbite conditions and designing personalised Invisalign treatment plans to address them.

How Invisalign Corrects Underbites

The magic of Invisalign lies in its careful planning and precise approach. For underbites, Invisalign employs a series of custom aligners. These aligners are designed to exert gentle pressure on specific teeth, directly targeting the underbite. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth gradually shift, following the treatment plan our experts have designed.

Throughout the process, we closely monitor your progress with regular check-ups. If needed, we can adjust the treatment plan to ensure your underbite correction stays on track. This attention to detail and patient-focused approach make Invisalign an excellent choice for underbite issues.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

The duration of your Invisalign treatment for underbite correction varies based on factors such as the severity of your underbite and how your teeth respond. On average, the process usually takes between 12 to 18 months. For less complex cases, some patients have seen significant results in just 6 months.

Consistency is vital. To ensure the best results, it’s advised to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.
