Invisalign Boca Raton | Class II Corrections with Invisalign
Clear aligners such as Invisalign Boca Raton are effective alternatives to metal braces. Invisalign are convenient, removable, comfortable, and virtually invisible. With Invisalign clear aligners, your teeth can be aligned using a series of clear, custom, and removable aligners. Clear aligners move your teeth in a gradual manner until you achieve a straight and beautiful smile.
Does Invisalign Work for Class II Malocclusion?
Invisalign clear aligners are not suitable for everyone due to each patient’s unique orthodontic treatment needs. If you’ve been diagnosed with malocclusion, this means you have a poor bite that needs orthodontic intervention. Malocclusion is categorized into three classes: Class 1 – where your upper teeth overlap your bottom teeth slightly, but your bite is normal, Class 2 – the upper teeth severely overlap the bottom teeth (also called retrognathism), and Class 3 – where your bottom teeth overlap your top teeth. With the advancement of Invisalign technology, the number, and type of problems Invisalign can correct have increased. Invisalign can now successfully treat class 2 malocclusion. The success of your treatment depends upon your commitment and your orthodontist in implementing it. An aligner that isn’t worn regularly won’t correct malocclusion of any type.
Qualifications for Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign is a good match for you if you have a mild orthodontic case. Children below 18 are not suitable for Invisalign since their jaws have not been fully developed. For the treatment to become successful, you have to be disciplined, organized and have a strong commitment to oral hygiene and care. Clear aligners are suitable for adults and older teens.
