歯科ハミール's Clear aligner treatment Case
In their 20s. The patient’s main complaints were the tilt of their front teeth and crowding in the lower teeth. The examination found a Deep Bite, in which the upper front teeth close down too far over the lower front teeth, so treatment needed to improve bite function as well as appearance.

- Treatment
- We carried out full-arch orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. Using the properties of the aligner, we intruded the front teeth (moving them further into the bone) while bringing the bite height to a proper level. Correcting the deep bite reduced the load on the jaw joint and helped shape a beautiful E-line (facial profile).
- Treatment time and number of visits
- Duration: approx. 2–3 years. Visits: once every 1.5–3 months
- Cost
- Total ¥1,012,000 (tax included) (breakdown: Invisalign Premium package). *This is a full-arch orthodontic plan of high difficulty, including correction of bite function.
- Risks and side effects
- Root resorption (where the tooth root becomes shorter) may occur. Because the bite changes, you may feel temporary jaw fatigue or discomfort during treatment. As this is a difficult case, the treatment period may run longer than usual.
