Invisalign treatment at Enhance Dental Centre professionally aligns underbites and gives you a new smile. Designed for comfort and precision, our almost invisible aligners ensure you get an efficient and beautiful solution to improve your bite. Our latest technology and personalized service help you achieve the healthy and confident smile you deserve.
When teeth are aligned properly, the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth a little. An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth protrude in front of the upper teeth, usually because the lower jaw is too far forward. The opposite of this is called an overbite; the upper front teeth overlap the front lower teeth. Both underbites and overbites are dental misalignment issues that Invisalign can correct. In more severe cases, an underbite may need surgery along with Invisalign.
An underbite is not only an aesthetic issue. Unless it’s treated, it could make the act of chewing and speaking quite difficult. It can also wear down teeth and increase the risk of cavities. An underbite may lead to bad breath, dry mouth, mouth breathing, and bacterial infections.
Initial Consultation and Diagnosis:
Our experts check your dental condition to give you an accurate diagnosis and help develop a personalized treatment plan for your needs.
Custom Treatment Plan:
We use advanced digital imaging to plan out a customized treatment plan that shows the gradual movement of teeth. This enables the construction of each aligner for maximum comfort and effectiveness according to your unique dental structure.
Receive Aligners:
Start your treatment with your first set of Invisalign aligners. Invisalign helps move teeth during treatment. You wear trays that gradually shift your teeth into the right position over several weeks or months. This is useful for fixing minor underbites caused by bottom teeth that are too far forward. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks, and gentle pressure is applied to guide the teeth.
Regular Check-Ins:
At Enhance Dental Centre, our team regularly checks in with you to track your progress and make any needed changes. These appointments help keep your treatment effective.
Achieving Symptom Relief:
Over time, your teeth will move back into the correct position in your jaw. After finishing the Invisalign trays, you will need a retainer to keep your teeth in place.
