The Invisalign appliance effectively manages overbite, primarily through incisor movements. This study analyzed overbite changes in 120 patients treated with clear aligners.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Technology

Background:

  • Limited literature exists on Invisalign overbite management, mostly case reports.
  • This study addresses the gap by assessing overbite changes with Invisalign.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate overbite modifications using the Invisalign appliance.
  • To understand the mechanisms behind these vertical dimension changes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 120 adult patients treated solely with Invisalign.
  • Exclusion of cases with major transverse/AP changes or extractions.
  • Categorization into normal, deepbite, and open bite groups.

Main Results:

  • Deepbite group showed a median 1.5 mm overbite opening.

  • Open bite group exhibited a median 1.5 mm overbite deepening.
  • Normal overbite group had a median 0.3 mm change; incisor movement was key.

    • Conclusions:

    • Invisalign demonstrates effective vertical dimension management.
    • Incisor repositioning is the primary mechanism for overbite correction.
