An overbite means the upper front teeth reach too far over the lower teeth when you close. A small overlap is normal — but when it runs deep, it can wear down enamel and strain the jaw. Clear aligners can correct many overbite cases.
Not sure which treatment fits your case? Book a visit — we will examine, explain, and plan it with you.
A deep overbite lets the lower teeth strike the roof of the mouth or the back of the upper teeth. Over the years this chips enamel and can contribute to jaw discomfort.
Each planned tray applies measured force to tip, rotate, and settle teeth into a healthier overlap. Some cases add small tooth-colored buttons for extra grip and control.
Mild overbites often improve in 6–12 months. More pronounced bites can take 12–24 months, sometimes paired with other appliances your dentist will explain first.
Aligners handle many skeletal-lite, dental overbites very well. Severe jaw discrepancies may need a combined approach — we will tell you honestly at the exam.
Because the trays are clear, most people around you will never notice. Presentations, photos, and video calls all carry on as usual.
Expect gentle pressure for a few days when each new set goes in. That feeling is movement happening — it fades quickly and is far milder than tightening wires.
Once the bite is corrected, retainers keep it there. We will fit yours and set a wear schedule that fits your routine.
Our dentists combine modern diagnostics with gentle, patient-first care at every visit.
