How to Handle Posterior Openbite for Invisalign Cases

Handling posterior openbite cases in Invisalign or clear aligner clients takes a certain level of time, care, and attention to detail since this often won’t be a quick two-minute case. However, once you’ve worked out the etiology of the openbite, you can tailor the Invisalign and clear aligner service to match.

Some of the critical causes of posterior openbite cases include:

-???????Unilateral vs. bilateral

-???????CRCO shifts

-???????Habit forming

-???????Airway issues

-???????Bruxism

-???????Anterior contact interference

These are just a few of the potential causes of posterior openbite – and without fixing the initial problems first – you’ll struggle to change the entire situation.

When handling these cases, make sure you’ve always checked the contacts closely first; premature contacts won’t work with elastics, for example. Make sure any interference is removed or out of the way before continuing. Retraction of the lower incisors is often one of the most common options for this scenario.
