Can invisalign help to improve my bite?

Q. Can invisalign help to improve the bite. My bite has never felt quite right as it overlaps more than it shoud. I think it is called an open or closed bite, something along those lines anyway. I know invisalign is good for straightening teeth but what about this?

A. It can help your bite depending on the severity, it is difficult to answer your question without seeing you.  Sometimes elastic bands are added to the treatment to help the bite and in some cases invisalign is just not the best treatment.
