Overbite, kindly explained
What is an overbite — and how to fix it comfortably
An aligned smile doesn't always come naturally — and a common reason people ask about Invisalign is to correct an overbite. Regardless of age, overbite correction can transform your confidence and may help prevent future dental and health issues.
An overbite is when the upper front teeth cover more of the lower front teeth than is considered ideal. Dentists call it a form of malocclusion, along with underbites, crossbites and gap teeth. Left unchecked, it can quietly wear down your teeth and stress your jaw.
With Invisalign For Overbite Teeth, treatment is virtually pain-free, you won't need to change how you eat, and your speech isn't affected. All our Invisalign dentists in Shepperton are officially accredited — with an unlimited guarantee on every aligner.

Overbite causes & symptoms
What causes overbite teeth
In children, the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry notes that prolonged thumb, finger, dummy or bottle use can tip the upper front teeth forward and shift jaw alignment. In teenagers and adults, a deeper-than-average overbite usually stems from an underlying jaw issue — or missing teeth on the lower arch.
- Genetic jaw shape or size mismatch
- Missing teeth on the lower dental arch
- Prolonged thumb or finger sucking in childhood
- Extended dummy use beyond age three
- Long-term bottle feeding in early years
- Nail biting or chewing on hard objects
- Tongue thrusting habits
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Traumatic injury to the jaw
- Untreated crowding pushing teeth forward
Why overbite correction matters
Top 8 reasons to fix an overbite
As well as transforming protruding teeth into a confident smile, overbite correction may prevent a range of health and dental problems.
Reduces uneven wear and tear on your front teeth.
Eases jaw aches, tension headaches and neck strain.
Protects gums from trauma caused by a deep bite.
Makes chewing, biting and opening more comfortable.
Can improve speech clarity where teeth position affects it.
May reduce risk factors linked to sleep apnea.
Boosts confidence by softening protruding front teeth.
Early correction usually means shorter, simpler treatment.
How it works
Your Invisalign For Overbite Teeth journey
A series of clear, removable aligners — custom-made and swapped roughly every two weeks — quietly guide your upper and lower teeth into a healthier bite. In deep-bite cases, both arches can start moving at the same time.
Free consultation
We assess your overbite, discuss your goals and confirm whether Invisalign is the right fit for you.
3D digital scan
A quick iTero scan maps both arches and previews your future bite before you commit.
Wear your aligners
Switch to a new set roughly every two weeks — teeth ease gently into their new position.
Reveal & retain
Once your overbite is corrected, discreet retainers keep your new bite beautifully stable.
