• A deep bite is when the upper incisors cover more than 2 mm of the lower incisors in the closed position. This very common discrepancy affects nearly 70% of the population. It can lead to tooth wear, gum irritation and jaw joint problems.
  
  
• Overbite is when the upper teeth are significantly more prominent than the lower teeth when closed. It can be hereditary or even caused by bad habits in childhood (tongue thrusting, finger sucking).
  
  

No! That is a very sweeping statement and therefore lacks medical basis. Each case should be evaluated individually. The fact is that many cases (malocclusions) can be treated with aligners, but there are some, mostly severe, that require alternative orthodontic treatment.

1. <16 years: JustSmile aligner treatments are only suitable for people over 16 years.
   
2. Pregnancy: Aligner treatment is not recommended during pregnancy due to hormonal effects, incl. on the oral area. In addition, it is not recommended to have an x-ray taken during pregnancy due to radiation exposure.
   
3. There may be other medical reasons for which JustSmile may reject patients.

The duration of your aligner treatment depends on the misalignment of your teeth. Our dentist can give you an approximate number in months once your treatment plan is finalized. Most aligner treatments only last between 3 and 14 months.
