Class II Correction with Clear Aligners

What is Class II DIV Correction?

Class II Division 1 correction is an orthodontic treatment used to correct a bite where the upper front teeth protrude significantly over the lower front teeth, often due to the upper jaw being positioned too far forward, the lower jaw being positioned too far back, or a combination of both. This condition, commonly known as an increased overjet, can affect the appearance of the smile, chewing function, and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Class II correction with clear aligners?
Class II correction with clear aligners is an orthodontic treatment that improves an overbite or jaw-to-teeth relationship where the upper teeth are positioned ahead of the lower teeth. Clear aligners help gradually move teeth into a more balanced alignment.
A Class II bite can occur due to genetic factors, jaw growth patterns, protruding upper teeth, a smaller lower jaw, or a combination of dental and skeletal factors.
Yes. Clear aligners can effectively treat many Class II cases by gradually improving tooth position and bite alignment. The suitability of aligner treatment depends on the severity of the condition and individual dental needs.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, but many cases can be completed within 12 to 24 months with proper aligner wear and regular orthodontic follow-ups.
Clear aligners are designed for comfort and are removable, allowing easier eating, brushing, and maintaining oral hygiene compared with traditional braces.
