Overbite/Underbite Adjustments

When the upper front teeth overlap with the lower front teeth, this is referred to in dentistry as an "overbite". It's very common for most people to have at least some overbite without there being a problem. But when there is a problem, Fall Creek Family Dental should be contacted to handle the issue.

If you have a deep bite, this can cause a series of issues. These issues include teeth wearing down to moderate or severe pain in the jawbone. The dentist uses a percentage to describe overbites, and 5-25% is ideal. Anything higher than 25% usually indicates medical treatment being necessary.

Invisalign clear aligners are an excellent remedy for an overbite or deep bite. We can have a custom aligner made for you in minimal time.

An underbite is the exact opposite of an overbite. When you close your jaws, your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. This tends to be a problem even in minor cases for anyone with this condition.

In many cases, an underbite makes it difficult to chew properly as well as speak clearly. This can also wear down the teeth in the same way an overbite can.

Invisalign can repair certain types of underbites, however severe underbites might require Invisalign aligners combined with surgery. We're here to assists, and we use state-of-the-art equipment to make the procedure fast and pain-free. Some of what we use includes:
