Will invisalign correct a class 3 underbite?

Q. I am having a bit of a quandry, I went to the dentist recently and he said I had a class 3 underbite and should really look at getting it fixed. Thing is I hate how metal braces look, I am in my 30s and don’t want to look like a teenager so I am looking into getting invisalign. Would invisalign be effective dealing with a class 3 underbite? or do I need to just bite the bullet and get metal braces? thanks,
A. Hi it is very difficult to say what is the best option for you. There are many options to treat class 3 malocclusions, such as Invisalign, Six month braces, Damon braces etc and in some cases surgery is necessary. Therefore it depends on the severity of your “underbite” and the size of your jaws. I would recommend a consultation to find out what are the best options for you Hope this helps
