What is a overbite?

An overbite is a dental condition where the upper front teeth overlap significantly over the lower front teeth. While some degree of overbite is normal, excessive overbite can impact both esthetics and oral function. At Happy Orthodontics, we address overbites through personalized orthodontic treatments. Braces, Invisalign, or other corrective measures may be recommended to gradually adjust the alignment of the teeth and jaws, achieving a well-balanced bite and a confident smile. Early detection and intervention are key for effective overbite correction.

How do you treat a overbite?

Treating an overbite involves orthodontic methods to correct the alignment of the upper and lower teeth and jaws. At Happy Orthodontics, our specialist may recommend braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic appliances to gradually adjust the position of the teeth. Functional appliances may also be employed to modify jaw growth in certain cases. The treatment plan is tailored to each individual's needs, and early intervention is valuable for successful correction. Regular monitoring and adjustments ensure optimal results, both functionally and aesthetically, for a well-aligned bite and a confident smile.
