Ever wonder if that slight overlap of your upper teeth over the lower ones is just a cosmetic concern, or something more? An overbite, a common dental issue, can impact both your oral health and appearance. Learn how overbites are corrected with Invisible Braces, and how Zenyum can help you achieve a better smile!
Can Braces Change Face Shape?
Considering braces but worried about a drastic change in your face? Relax! Braces primarily focus on aligning your teeth, not reshaping your jawbone. You might experience subtle changes around the lips and cheeks due to improved tooth positioning, but these are generally positive enhancements to your facial profile.
How to Fix An Overbite
Braces work wonders when it comes to correcting overbite. Here’s how:
Gradual Pressure
Gentle pressure is applied to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions.
Teeth Straightening with Braces
You have options! Traditional metal braces are the most common, while clear or ceramic braces offer a more discreet look. Achieve your desired smile with Zenyum Invisible Braces! Our clear aligners can correct your teeth alignment, with all the comfort.
Treatment Timeline
The treatment duration varies depending on the severity of your overbite. Mild cases take an average of 7 months, and more complex cases can last an average of 15 months. Your treating dentist will provide a more accurate estimate during your consultation.
