Fixing crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth with orthodontics may not seem like a difficult task. However, bite misalignment often causes many patients to worry that clear aligner systems may not be enough to address this problem. It’s widely known that metal braces can fix all types of dental alignment, but what about those who prefer to avoid bulky, visible brackets and wires? Can SureSmile aligners produce results? Keep reading to learn whether these clear braces are enough to straighten your bite.
Is SureSmile Capable of Addressing Bite Misalignment?
Yes, no matter the type of bite misalignment you experience, SureSmile aligners can help. These custom-made trays can be tailored to shift your teeth and bite into their proper place.
Similar to other clear aligner systems, SureSmile’s personalized approach and craftsmanship are enough to ensure comfort while correcting those issues that make daily living increasingly difficult.
What Kind of Bite Misalignment Can Be Fixed?
If you have one of the following forms of bite misalignment, you’ll be pleased to learn that SureSmile can help:
- Overbite: This is when your teeth protrude over your lower row of teeth, creating a substantial gap between the two arches.
- Underbite: This occurs when the lower arch of teeth pushes out in front of the upper row of teeth.
- Crossbite: When your upper and lower rows of teeth begin to overlap each other, it creates a crossbite that can cause jaw pain and enamel erosion.
- Open Bite: When your back teeth touch, but your front ones do not, it causes a large space to form so that you cannot fully bite down.
What is the Process for Fixing Bite Misalignment with SureSmile?
No matter what kind of bite misalignment you are experiencing, you will find that your dentist will carefully craft a treatment plan that promotes positive movement with SureSmile.
Based on the type of bite you have and its severity, your aligners will be crafted to move your teeth and bite accordingly so that everything eventually lines up. This will generate more fluid movement as your mouth opens and closes. Your teeth will touch where they should, and your bite will be more even, so you don’t have to worry about excessive pressure being placed on certain areas of your smile.
SureSmile aligners are a versatile form of orthodontic treatment, so don’t discount their ability to address your bite issues. Talk to your dentist about how you can get started.
