For this reason, in order to fix crowding there may sometimes be a requirement to remove a tooth to create enough space. Very often the tooth that is removed if the 1st premolar. This then gives enough space to move all of the teeth and straighten them to fix crowding. Invisalign can indeed push front teeth back so long as there is enough space for these teeth to move into.
If there are gaps behind the protruding front teeth then these gaps will be taken up as the front teeth push back. If there are no gaps and not enough room to push the front teeth back then extraction of a premolar tooth may be required. And so on to the main question about whether Invisalign is able to fix protruding front teeth. The answer is definitely yes, although there needs to be room for these front teeth to be moved back into. If you only have a couple of protruding front teeth, for example 2 front teeth then you may also like to consider dental bonding or other treatments.
The 2 front teeth may look as though they stick out however it may be because the lateral teeth either side of them are actually retruded and not far forwards enough. This can often be a cheaper and quicker option than orthodontics, please speak to your dentist about whether this could be one of your treatment options.
Their aligners are slightly thinner and said to be less noticeable, but some patients find them to cause a bit more soreness and sensitivity in the teeth and gums.
Although ClearCorrect is less well-known than Invisalign, some dental providers prefer these aligners because they cost significantly less to offer. The average cost of treatment with ClearCorrect is still right around the same cost as Invisalign. Express aligner systems offer a shorter treatment period and more affordable pricing than traditional clear aligners. Most express systems include sets of aligners as opposed to the roughly 30 required for a full course Invisalign or ClearCorrect treatment and come out to about half-to-two-thirds the cost of standard treatment.
These programs are designed for cases of crowding or spacing in which only the front six teeth need to be shifted. That said, if you have a mild case of overjet that only affects your front teeth, you may respond well to one of these treatment plans. Here are a few express aligner brands your dental provider may offer:. In recent years, a number of online companies like Smile Direct Club, Candid Co and Byte have entered the industry to provide a more affordable option for adults seeking to straighten their teeth or correct minor bite issues from home.
Invisalign—with the help of attachments added by your dentist—can do both. So, Invisalign is more effective at correcting moderate-to-severe bite issues than home teeth aligners. Our two favorite home-based clear aligners are Byte and Candid. Our all-time favorite home aligner is Byte. In contrast, most other home aligner companies last 6 months.
Some orthodontists will offer a similar contraption at extra charge, but Byte includes it as a complimentary part of your treatment. The HyperByte sends gentle, microscopic vibrations through your teeth and up to your roots. Not only does this help shift your teeth, but it also stimulates blood flow and helps reduce your treatment discomfort. The HyperByte system is one of the main reasons Byte is our favorite treatment for mild cases of dental overjet.
The high frequency vibration therapy keeps things quick and relatively painless. Your orthodontist reviews them to ensure that your treatment is on track. In some cases, he or she will even give you the go-ahead to move on to your next aligner ahead of schedule. Candid is a bit pricier than some of their competitors, but we think the Remote Monitoring program is worth the extra cost. The more complicated your case, the more important it is to have a professional looking out for your smile.
Overjets can be caused by a variety of factors. Some are skeletal — originating in bone development in the jaw and dental roots - and some are developmental, resulting from the growth of the teeth themselves. Whatever the causes, an overjet can be corrected with careful supervision by an experienced orthodontist.
Yes, it is important to treat an overjet as soon as possible. Overjets, like any malocclusion, are misaligned bites that can have negative consequences for your teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as your overall lifelong health. All of these issues can cause cumulative harm to your teeth and health over time.
There are several ways to treat overjet. The best treatment for you depends on several factors: the severity of your overjet, the orthodontic provider you choose, and whether there are other issues that need to be corrected, as well as your preferences for treatment.
Whatever treatment you select, make sure you get your overjet corrected by a licensed, experienced orthodontist with in-person supervision, to achieve safe and effective results, for a long-lasting smile and a healthy bite. Expert orthodontists use metal and ceramic braces to treat overjets with excellent results. Braces use small brackets connected by a wire to safely and predictably move the teeth into their correct positions, diminishing the distance between the top and bottom teeth to close the excessive overjet.
Licensed orthodontists are trained extensively in the use of braces to treat overjets and other malocclusions. Invisalign is effective at correcting overjets, provided it is used in the hands of an experienced, licensed orthodontist. The clear aligner therapy designed and patented by Invisalign has helped many thousands of people achieve great smiles and treat their overjets. Remember that any orthodontic treatment is only a tool in the hands of your orthodontist: select an orthodontic professional with years of experience using Invisalign clear aligners, for the highest-quality and expert results.
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners, custom-created by your orthodontist and designed specifically to treat your unique diagnosis. For very severe overjets, surgery may be necessary to achieve the best results in closing the overjet gap. Oral surgeons work closely with orthodontists to create the most effective treatment plan. If your case requires oral surgery, your orthodontist will explain to you the treatment plan and refer you to an oral surgeon for care.
Surgical cases are very complex, so seek an expert orthodontist and ask for a referral for a top oral surgeon. Retainers are used to keep your teeth in place after your overjet has been corrected. Retainers will be provided to you after braces or Invisalign treatment either a metal and plastic retainer or clear aligner retainers.
Retainers are a necessary part of your orthodontic treatment: be sure to wear your retainers as instructed by your provider: they will prevent your overjet from coming back, and keep your beautiful smile in place for lasting health and confidence. Overjet cases requiring oral surgery can take up to 2 years to properly correct, followed by retainers.
It is extremely important to choose an experienced, licensed orthodontic provider who can properly treat your case, and refer you to an expert oral surgeon. In-office supervision by an experienced orthodontist is key to properly correcting an excessive overjet. It is normal to have a very small overjet, where the top teeth lay slightly over the bottom teeth, and all the teeth make contact when the jaw is closed.
