How to reduce a large overjet with Invisalign<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Initial presentation of upper proclaimed teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not all patients have had the benefit of orthodontic treatment, and as they get older the problem gets worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes teeth have been orthodontically treated but without adequate retention, orthodontic relapse occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protrusion of upper teeth can be from tongue, thumb or even lower lip forces and this can create an unfavourable profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this young lady we have a normal nasolabial angle but an increased upper E-line measurement, meaning that the upper lip protrudes out. protrusion. This can be from a longer upper jaw or a shorter lower jaw (asymmetric growth) but it can also be from upper teeth protruding outwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the lower lip gets caught behind the upper front teeth and can cause protrusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case study shows a young lady who did not have orthodontic treatment and she was not happy with dental appearance or the lip profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to reduce the overjet was to remove upper premolar teeth. Nothing else would give a better result without also lower jaw surgery, which we normally do not recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We agreed to do Invisalign with 2 upper teeth extractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had 39 upper and 22 lower aligners, and the patient changed her aligners every 10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
