When aligners may help
Clear aligners may help some mild to moderate overbite cases, especially when the treatment goal includes tooth movement rather than major jaw correction.
When braces may be better
Fixed braces or specialist orthodontic planning may be recommended for deeper bites, complex bite correction, growth-related concerns, or cases needing more controlled movement.
What a clinician needs to check
Suitability depends on the overbite depth, overjet, tooth wear, jaw relationship, gum health, crowding, spacing, and whether attachments or elastics would be needed.
