An overbite is when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth. This common dental issue can cause challenges ranging from difficulties in chewing and speaking to concerns about your smile's appearance.
Various factors, including genetics, childhood habits like thumb-sucking, and improper oral practices, can lead to an overbite. Without timely intervention, it may result in complications such as tooth decay, gum issues, and jaw discomfort.
Caspersmile aligners offer a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to correct an overbite. Using a series of tailor-made aligner trays, they gradually guide your teeth into their ideal positions. This results in a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile. Our orthodontists will develop a customized treatment plan just for you, ensuring the best outcomes for your specific case.
What Is the typical timeline for correcting an Overbite with Caspersmile aligners?
Treatment duration depends on the severity of the overbite and other individual factors, with most patients witnessing improvements within 6-12 months.
Is eating and drinking possible with Caspersmile aligners?
We advise removing your aligners before consuming anything besides water to prevent staining and damage. It's a good practice to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth before reinserting the aligners.
What Is the recommended daily wear time for Caspersmile aligners?
For optimal results, you should wear your aligners at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for meals, drinks, and oral hygiene. Not adhering to this regimen can extend the treatment period and impact the effectiveness of the results.
