Struggling with a crossbite as an adult can feel overwhelming, especially when told a surgical solution might be required. You might wonder if there’s a way to resolve your dental concerns without invasive procedures. The great news? Invisalign clear aligners may be an option to provide a straightforward, less intimidating path to correction, even for complex cases.
If you’re in the Capital Region, the team at Cooney & Tyner Orthodontics is here to guide you through this journey with over 65 years of experience, a friendly, welcoming approach, and three convenient locations across Troy, Ballston Lake, and Saratoga Springs.
A crossbite occurs when your upper teeth sit inside rather than outside your lower teeth. It can involve a single tooth or multiple teeth and may affect the front of your mouth (anterior crossbite) or the back (posterior crossbite). Unresolved crossbites can lead to more serious issues, including:
Addressing these issues isn’t just about improving aesthetics. It’s about safeguarding your long-term oral health.
Many adults believe their crossbite requires surgical expansion to correct, especially in cases involving structural changes to the jaw. In many cases, surgical treatment may be the only option. Though, with its advanced technology and customizable approach, Invisalign offers a promising alternative for many patients.
Invisalign aligners use gentle, consistent pressure to guide teeth into healthier, more functional positions over time. Thanks to advanced techniques like SmartForce attachments and precision trimming, Invisalign can address complex orthodontic issues, including certain structural crossbites.
However, it’s important to note that every case is unique, and the severity of your crossbite will play a role in determining the best path forward. There are also some cases where a crossbite is present, but not causing any structural or dental concerns. In these cases, we may suggest fixing all other bite and alignment concerns while leaving the functional crossbite intact. This is why an orthodontic consultation with experienced providers like Dr. Cooney and Dr. Tyner is essential to determine your best options.
