What are the main benefits and disadvantages of ClearPath aligners for orthodontic treatment?

Thank you for your question. The term "overbite" is a bit of a misnomer, most laypeople refer to "overbite" as the upper teeth protrusion or the upper teeth being more in front of the lower teeth. Sometimes the upper teeth do become slightly more slanted forwards during the initial stages of treatment as the teeth were previously crooked and your dentist may be correcting the alignment first in the intial stages. When teeth are aligned and insufficient space is provided in the initial stages, the teeth are pushed forwards into a wider circumference.

Tooth Extractions create immediate space to alleviate tooth problems that it was indicated for. Often times extractions would be indicated near the site of the problem such as first premolars for severe front teeth crowding. This can save time to resolve dental problems that the extractions were indicated for. Dental extractions create fairly large spaces ranging 6. 5-7. 5mm on average for premolar extractions for severe dental bite problems. Non-extraction methods of creating space are generally less and may not resolve very major dental bite problems.
