Invisalign Mandibular Advancement in West Palm Beach & Forest Hill, FL

At Dr. Blair Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign Mandibular Advancement for growing patients throughout West Palm Beach, Forest Hill, Palm Beach Gardens, and Palm Beach County. This advanced clear aligner system corrects overbites and jaw alignment at the same time — without the bulky appliances of traditional orthodontics.

Dr. Blair Cohen is a board-certified orthodontist and Invisalign Diamond Plus provider serving families across South Florida from our Forest Hill Boulevard office in West Palm Beach.

What Is Invisalign Mandibular Advancement?

Invisalign Mandibular Advancement is a specialized clear aligner system designed to correct Class II malocclusion — commonly called an overbite. This condition occurs when the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth because the lower jaw (mandible) sits too far back.

The aligners contain precision wings built into the plastic that gently guide the lower jaw forward during treatment. Unlike traditional overbite appliances such as Herbst devices or Twin Block appliances, Invisalign Mandibular Advancement is nearly invisible, removable, and corrects both the bite and tooth alignment simultaneously.

This treatment is also sometimes combined with an RPE (rapid palatal expander) when the upper arch needs widening — a combined approach called Invisalign RPE — which Dr. Blair Cohen is experienced in providing.

How Does Invisalign Mandibular Advancement Work?

Treatment begins with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation using our iTero digital scanner — no impressions required. Dr. Blair Cohen maps your child’s bite alignment, jaw development stage, and tooth positioning to create a fully customized treatment plan.

Patients receive a series of custom-made clear aligners, each worn for about one to two weeks. The precision wings embedded in the upper and lower aligners work together to gradually reposition the lower jaw forward while simultaneously moving teeth into alignment.

Because bite correction and tooth straightening happen at the same time, total treatment is often more efficient than traditional two-phase approaches. n

Invisalign Mandibular Advancement vs. Traditional Overbite Treatment

Signs Your Child May Have an Overbite

An early orthodontic evaluation — recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists at age 7 — can identify bite problems while the jaw is still growing, when correction is most effective. Look for these signs:

• Upper front teeth that protrude or “stick out” noticeably
• Difficulty biting or chewing comfortably
• Crowded, crooked, or overlapping teeth
• Jaw imbalance — one side appears different from the other
• Mouth breathing or snoring
• Speech concerns or difficulty pronouncing certain sounds
• Excessive wear or chipping on the back of the upper front teeth
• Your child’s chin appears small or recessed

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Teens and Adolescents (Ages 10–16)

Invisalign Mandibular Advancement is most effective for growing patients between approximately 10 and 16 years old whose jaws are still developing. Treatment during active growth allows the jaw repositioning to work with the body’s natural development rather than against it.

Patients in this group who have an overbite, crowding, jaw imbalance, or are showing signs of Class II bite problems are strong candidates. Dr. Blair Cohen will assess your child’s growth stage using digital X-rays and iTero scans.

Adults — Can Invisalign Fix an Overbite in Adults?

Adults can benefit from Invisalign treatment for overbite correction, though jaw repositioning in adults is more complex since the jaw is fully developed. In adult patients, Invisalign focuses primarily on improving tooth alignment and bite relationship. For adults with significant jaw discrepancy, a combination approach or surgical consultation may be recommended.

Many adults in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County seek Invisalign for discreet teeth straightening — and Dr. Blair Cohen offers adult Invisalign treatment for a wide range of bite and alignment concerns. Schedule a free consultation to find out what’s possible for your specific situation.
