Is Invisalign Effective In Fixing Open Bite?

If, after reading the title, you’re unsure as to what an “open bite” is – or if you need help with it – here’s an explanation. Leaving a space between your lower and upper teeth, an open bite is a misalignment. Metal braces are frequently used by dentists to treat this condition, traditionally. But a less invasive and more comfortable treatment option is Invisalign.

Is this the kind of treatment you could benefit from? Might traditional braces be your only option? Do you even have to worry about “open bite”? You need answers.

It might be time to talk to your dentist about Invisalign for open bite issues. What if you don’t have a regular dentist? Later, we’ll introduce you to New York’s top cosmetic dentist. His name is Dr. Alex, and he’d love to help you create a smile of which you can be proud.

For now, however, let’s talk about open bite problems and how Invisalign could help.
