Bite, face and jawsQuestion before treatment

Can a deep bite be corrected with aligners?

Clear aligners can move teeth in all directions, but in some cases these movements are achieved with varying degrees of success. Correcting a deep bite by moving the lower front teeth downwards is a more difficult movement for aligners, but it is possible. That said, aligner treatment methods are constantly developing, and there are no longer any movements that can't be achieved.

This answer is for general information. Your own case needs an examination by an orthodontist.
