Most people know Invisalign can straighten teeth, but it also plays a big role in correcting your bite—how your top and bottom teeth fit together. A proper bite is essential for long-term oral health and comfort.
Here’s how Invisalign helps:
1. Corrects Overbites & Underbites
Invisalign can gently move your teeth and jaws into better alignment, reducing stress on your teeth, gums, and jaw joints.
2. Improves Crossbites
If some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, Invisalign can help shift them outward to prevent wear, gum recession, and even bone loss over time.
3. Fixes Open Bites
When your front teeth don’t touch when you bite down, it can affect chewing and speech. Invisalign can help close the gap for better function.
4. Aligns the Bite for Less Grinding and Clenching
When your bite is off, your teeth may grind against each other unevenly. Invisalign helps create a more balanced bite, which can reduce TMJ issues and wear on your teeth.
5. Promotes Better Oral Health
A well-aligned bite makes it easier to brush and floss properly, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
The Bottom Line?
Invisalign doesn’t just straighten your smile—it aligns your bite for better comfort, health, and long-term stability.
