Overbite Treatment | Overbite Treatment and Correction
An overbite can affect the appearance of your smile and the way your upper and lower teeth meet.
Depending on its severity, you may be looking for treatment because of cosmetic concerns, discomfort or problems with your bite.
At West House Dental, we provide personalised overbite treatment in Pinner for adults and teenagers. We assess your teeth, bite and dental health before explaining the most appropriate options for correcting your overbite.
For many patients, orthodontic treatment with clear aligners or fixed braces can gradually improve the position of the teeth and create a more balanced bite. The right approach depends on your individual case and the movements required.
Can it be Corrected | Can an Overbite Be Corrected?
Yes, many overbites can be corrected with orthodontic treatment.
The best treatment depends on how your teeth and jaws are positioned, the severity of the overbite and whether you are being treated as a teenager or an adult. Some cases can be treated with clear aligners, while others may be better suited to fixed braces.
A full orthodontic assessment allows us to understand your bite and recommend the most appropriate approach. In more complex cases, additional specialist treatment may sometimes be required.
Treatment Options | Overbite Treatment Options
Overbite treatment is planned around your individual bite rather than using the same approach for every patient.
Depending on your case, treatment options may include Invisalign clear aligners or fixed braces. Both approaches can move the teeth gradually, but the most suitable option will depend on the severity of the overbite, the tooth movements required and your treatment goals.
During your consultation, we will assess your teeth and bite before explaining which options are suitable, how long treatment is likely to take and the expected costs.
Can Adults Correct an Overbite?
Yes. Adults can often have an overbite corrected with orthodontic treatment, provided their teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment.
The most suitable approach depends on the position of the teeth, the severity of the bite and the movements required. Depending on the individual case, adult overbite treatment may involve Invisalign clear aligners, fixed braces or a more complex orthodontic approach.
At your consultation, we will assess your bite and explain which overbite correction options are realistic for your teeth.
Invisalign for Overbites | Invisalign for Overbite Correction
For selected cases, Invisalign clear aligners can be used to improve an overbite by gradually moving the teeth into planned positions and changing the way the upper and lower teeth meet.
Because the aligners are transparent and removable, Invisalign can be a discreet option for adults and teenagers who would prefer not to wear visible fixed braces.
However, Invisalign is not automatically the best treatment for every overbite. Suitability depends on the severity of the bite, the tooth movements required and the relationship between the teeth and jaws.
During a free Invisalign and braces consultation, we can assess your bite and explain whether clear aligners are suitable or whether a fixed brace would provide better control.
Braces for Overbites | Braces for Overbite Correction
Fixed braces can provide precise control over tooth movement and may be recommended when overbite correction requires movements that are better managed with a fixed appliance.
West House Dental offers discreet fixed-brace options, including ceramic braces, which use tooth-coloured or clear components on the front of the teeth, and lingual braces, which are positioned behind the teeth.
The most appropriate type of brace will depend on the severity of the overbite, the movements required, your dental health and your preferences.
Overbite Treatment Cost | How Much Does Overbite Treatment Cost?
The cost of overbite correction depends on the type of orthodontic treatment required, the complexity of your bite and the expected treatment time.
Our current dental fees list Invisalign treatment From £3,500, while fixed braces are individually priced according to the treatment required. The Invisalign and braces consultation is free.
During your consultation, we will assess your teeth and bite before explaining the suitable treatment options and providing a personalised cost. This gives you a clear understanding of the likely fees before you decide whether to proceed.
