Case

In their 20s. Came to us with the main concerns “the tilt of my front teeth” and “crowding in my lower teeth.” The examination found a deep bite, a condition in which the upper front teeth cover the lower front teeth too deeply, and improving the function of the bite was needed as well as the appearance.

Treatment Details

We carried out full-mouth orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. Making use of the aligner's properties, we intruded the front teeth (moved them into the bone) while adjusting the bite to the right height. By correcting the deep bite, we reduced the strain on the jaw joint and shaped a beautiful E-line (profile).

Treatment Duration & Sessions

Treatment period: About 2–3 years Visits: Once every 1.5–3 months

Cost

Total: ¥1,012,000 (tax included) (Breakdown: Invisalign Premium package) *This is a high-difficulty, full-mouth orthodontic plan that includes improving the function of the bite.

Risks & Side Effects

Root resorption (the tooth root becoming shorter) can occur. Because the bite changes, you may feel temporary jaw fatigue or discomfort during treatment. Because this is a difficult case, treatment may take longer than usual.
