Patient Chief Concern
deep bite, interdental space
What learning would you share with other Invisalign providers?
In the treatment of deep bite, Invisalign can be highly effective. However, achieving successful outcomes requires substantial clinical expertise. The use of precision bite ramps is essential. When appropriately indicated based on skeletal analysis, the addition of bite ramps significantly enhances treatment efficiency.
This particular case involved a hypodivergent patient, for whom Class II elastics were also employed.
For such cases, this represents a highly effective method for deep bite correction.
What contributed most to this treatment being successful?
Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of successful treatment. It is crucial to understand the appropriate indications for the use of bite ramps. Class II elastics are not mandatory, and in some cases, they should be avoided.
However, in this case, due to the patient’s hypodivergent skeletal pattern, the use of Class II elastics contributed to an excellent outcome.
It is important to note that deep bite correction is fully achievable even with Invisalign Lite.
