Overbite correction in Dubai — braces, aligners and growth appliances
A deep bite can wear the lower front teeth, irritate the gum behind the upper teeth and contribute to jaw discomfort. It is one of the most common reasons adults seek orthodontics.
An overbite or deep bite — where upper front teeth overlap the lower ones too much — can be corrected with braces, clear aligners and, in growing patients, functional appliances that guide the lower jaw forward. The approach depends on whether the cause is the teeth or the jaws.
Key facts
- Cause diagnosed first
- Growth appliances for young patients
- Braces or aligners for adults
- Retainers keep the bite stable
Teeth or jaws?
Records and X-rays show whether the problem is tooth position or jaw size and position, which changes the treatment.
Treatment in children and teens
Growth appliances such as functional or Herbst-type devices can encourage lower jaw growth before braces or aligners.
Treatment in adults
Braces or aligners with elastics and, when needed, mini-implants. Severe skeletal cases may need combined surgical care.
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of removable, nearly invisible aligners made from a 3D scan. You can take them out to eat and clean, and progress is planned digitally from the first visit.
