Invisalign Case Study: Correcting an Underbite and Dental Crowding

Patient Location: Surbiton / Kingston, Surrey

Treatment: Invisalign® full clear aligner therapy

Duration: 10 months

THE CHALLENGE: UNDERBITE AND FUNCTIONAL DISCOMFORT

Our patient came to Surbiton Dental with a complex orthodontic situation. Their lower front teeth sat in front of the upper teeth (a classic underbite), complicated by significant dental crowding.

This wasn’t just a cosmetic issue; the misalignment caused functional challenges, specifically, discomfort during eating due to bite interference. The patient felt self-conscious about their profile and was eager to find an Invisalign dentist in Surbiton who could restore both their bite and smile aesthetics.

OUR EXPERT TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION

After a comprehensive digital assessment using our iTero 3D scanner, we recommended Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign is highly effective for underbite correction because it allows for precise, staged movements of the dental arches.

Unlike traditional metal braces, this provided a discreet solution that fit the patient’s professional Surrey lifestyle.

WHAT WE DID: THE 10-MONTH TRANSFORMATION

Over a 10-month treatment journey, we utilised custom-designed Invisalign teeth straightening trays to meticulously shift the teeth.

  • Phase 1: Creating space to resolve the crowding.
  • Phase 2: Gradually retracting the lower arch to correct the underbite.

The treatment was tailored to ensure a comfortable transition, allowing the patient to maintain their oral hygiene easily while the invisible teeth straightening worked in the background.

THE OUTCOME: COMFORT AND CONFIDENCE RESTORED

The transformation was remarkable. The underbite was effectively corrected and the crowded teeth were beautifully aligned into a balanced arc.

  • Functional Result: The patient now enjoys a comfortable, aligned bite without interference.
  • Aesthetic Result: A refreshed, confident smile that fits the patient’s professional lifestyle.

“The difference in my bite is life-changing. I can eat without discomfort and I finally love the way my teeth look in the mirror.” – Verified Patient.
