Anterior Open Bite and Invisalign?

Hi,





I am getting different answers on whether an invisalign can fix an anterior open bite or not. Some answer yes, they can. Some answer they can, but limited to minor open bites. Some answer no and the only way to fix it is to wear braces. Is there anyone out there who had experiences in this case and could tell me whether an invisalign could fix an anterior open bite or not? Thanks!

Anterior Open Bite and Invisalign?
Whether Invisalign can fix or cannot fix your open bite, it depends on how severe it is, and on the results from the cephalometric exam that your dentist or orthodontist has done on you. http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatme...





But usually Invisalign is more limited than braces for correcting open bites.
Reply:Bobby, it's fate that you asked this question today. My dental team is going to an Invisalign course this weekend in Chicago. At the last course I attended it sounds as if they will correct an open bite. If this question is still open when I get back I'll have a definite answer.
Reply:it would be best to wear braces cos for the open bite you would need to wear elastics to bring the jaws together but you could always e mail invisalign and ask direct or if its really what you want the invisable brace has just been invented in england called clearstep lots better than invisalign
