Invisalign Treatment for Protruding Teeth and Deep Bite

Hello

This is Apgujeong Yonsei Baro Dental Clinic.

Invisalign treatment comes with a warranty period.

This allows additional aligners to be made so that areas with less-than-satisfactory treatment results can be corrected.

Even Invisalign Lite, a short-term partial orthodontic treatment, and Invisalign Express, the shortest program that takes only 2–3 months, allow for one remake.

However, if the treatment result looks perfect after the first set, treatment may be completed without ordering additional aligners.

Because minimizing the number of remakes is the fastest shortcut to achieving the desired result, we provide treatment that minimizes the need for remakes.

Today, I will show you a case completed at Apgujeong Yonsei Baro Dental Clinic without remaking the Invisalign aligners.

23.08

The patient visited us seeking orthodontic treatment because of spaces between the teeth.

23.08

The upper front teeth were also flared forward, and there was a deep bite in which the front teeth overlapped deeply.

The molar occlusion was relatively good.

If you ask which malocclusion is treated most effectively with Invisalign,

spacing between the teeth is certainly one of the best indications.

When spaces are closed, the deep bite can easily become more pronounced.

Even so, good results can be achieved if this is carefully controlled.

That is why Invisalign is actively recommended when there are spaces between the teeth.

24.03

After the consultation, this patient also decided to undergo treatment with Invisalign.

The initial treatment plan consisted of 31 aligners.

24.03

Blue bite blocks for treating the deep bite were also incorporated into the aligners.

This is the result after wearing all 31 aligners from the first set at one-week intervals, from September 2023 through March 2024.

24.03

The deep bite had improved well, and 98% of the spaces had closed, but a very small 2% space remained.

These were areas where dental floss entered loosely rather than fitting tightly, even though they were not easily visible.

The midline had also improved considerably compared with the beginning.

Even so, there was still a slight discrepancy.

Instead of proceeding with the production of additional aligners, the final aligner was adjusted and worn for one more month.

Then, in May 2024, treatment was finally completed.

24.05

The midline matched well without any discrepancy.

23.08~24.05

The molar occlusion, which many patients worry about, was also very good.

23.08~24.05

Spaces between the front teeth are prone to relapse, so retainers are important.

The patient received not only a wire retainer but also a Vivera retainer.

23.08~24.05

23.08~24.05

23.08~24.05

The angle of the previously flared front teeth improved so that they aligned more upright,

23.08~24.05

and the smile became neater.

23.08~24.05

The protruding appearance was also moderately improved, and the lip line became more defined.

I hope this was helpful for those looking into Invisalign treatment for protruding teeth and deep bite correction.
