Patients who come in about overbite correction at City of Angels Dentistry are usually asking the same question first: can this actually be fixed with clear aligners, or do I need traditional braces?

He gives a straight answer at the consultation on whether your specific overbite is within that range.

Dr. Kevin Chin provides overbite correction for mild to moderate cases in Downtown LA adults and teens.
A dental overbite is caused by the position of the teeth — upper teeth too far forward or lower teeth too far back. A skeletal overbite is caused by the relative position of the jaw bones. Clear aligners effectively treat dental overbite. Severe skeletal overbite may require orthopedic appliances or surgery in addition to orthodontic treatment. Dr. Chin assesses which type applies to your case.
Yes, for mild to moderate dental overbite. Invisalign uses precision bite ramps and targeted tooth movement to reduce vertical overlap. The degree of correction achievable depends on the severity of the overbite and the patient's bone structure. Dr. Chin provides a realistic assessment at the consultation.
Significant overbite causes the lower front teeth to bite into the upper palate, which can cause soft tissue irritation. Abnormal bite forces accelerate wear on the lower front teeth and upper tooth surfaces. In more severe cases, jaw joint issues can develop over time.
