HOW DOES IT WORK?
An overbite happens when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth too much. Invisalign, a popular treatment, can discreetly and comfortably fix overbites by using clear aligners to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions, giving you a more aligned bite and a confident smile without the need for traditional braces.
It is usually caused by the top and bottom jaws being different sizes. It can also be caused due to missing teeth in the lower jaw which causes the lower jaw to be smaller and a mis-match in jaw size.
Whilst you can lead a normal life with an overbite it can cause a number of problems

Got my Invisalign and whitening with dr Kunal at the Fleet Street branch and it really has been life changing. He’s given me the confidence to smile and laugh without covering my mouth. Very professional and listens to what i wanted and always exceeded my expectations. Also makes the entire Invisalign journey easy and comfortable as he was always there to answer any questions I had at any time. Highly recommend ruh dental and dr Kunal. It really is the best decision I’ve made. Had so many compliments on my teeth, even by strangers.
I’ve been wanting to come to Ruh dental for years for a perfect smile, my experience has been amazing, the whitening kit really has brightened my teeth I’m always getting compliments from everyone so I’m very glad I chose Ruh.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Ruh Dental. The staff are all really friendly and helpful, and every step of the treatment was clearly explained with no sales pressure at any time. My dentist was amazing and I’m so pleased with the outcome.
The term overbite technically refers to the vertical overlap between the top and bottom teeth. Someone with a deep bite would be considered to have a large overbite. This page refers to the term “overbite” from the view of a patient who is concerned with the horizontal overlap between the top and bottom teeth (“buck teeth” or flared teeth).
The correct orthodontic term here would in fact be overjet, or excessive overjet. We refer to the term overbite as this is what we find most patients actually attend saying they want corrected, which will make this page more informatively valuable for patients with this problem as the term overjet is unlikely to be something they are aware of.
An overbite, also known as “buck teeth” or “goofy teeth,” is a dental condition where the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth more than normal.
Overbites can result from a number of factors, including genes, thumb-sucking habits in childhood, extended dummy use, and tongue thrusting.
Overbites can be corrected through treatments like braces and even Invisalign. In some severe cases, jaw surgery might be required.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually shifts your teeth into a planned position. It can correct overbites by applying gentle pressure to reposition your teeth backwards removing the “buck teeth” appearance.
Yes, Invisalign is an excellent option for overbites. It offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces while achieving significant improvements in a shorter space of time not needing tooth extractions.
The treatment duration varies depending on the severity of the overbite. Invisalign treatments typically range from 6 to 18 months.
Invisalign is suitable for both teenagers and adults. It’s never too late to correct an overbite with Invisalign.
Invisalign is nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable to wear. It allows you to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
Yes, retainers are mandatory after Invisalign treatment to maintain the corrected bite and prevent them moving back to the original position.

You may notice that you cant fully close your lips, sometimes the top teeth can even sit outside of the bottom lip. The teeth can be chipped or worn, which can also make things worse aesthetically
Whilst overbites can improve in growing patients, as an adult, overbites are unlikely to improve much at all
Addressing an overbite offers various solutions, with Invisalign emerging as a great option. While surgical jaw correction might be necessary in specific cases, it’s not always feasible due to factors like cost and practicality. Fortunately, Invisalign clear braces provide an effective and more accessible alternative for many overbite cases.
