Overbite Correction

An overbite is when the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth more than they should. A deep or large overbite can wear teeth, strain the jaw and affect how the teeth look together.

How Overbites Are Treated

Braces — brackets and wires that move teeth into a better bite.
Clear Aligners — removable trays, sometimes with elastics, for suitable cases.
Functional Appliances — for growing patients, devices that guide jaw growth.

Getting Started

The right approach depends on whether the cause is the teeth, the jaw or both. Dr. Hyon will evaluate your bite at a consultation and recommend a plan.
