Evaluating your dental condition and providing appropriate recommendations require a thorough examination by a qualified orthodontist or dentist.
It's important to consult with an experienced orthodontist who can assess your specific dental issues, review your treatment history, and recommend the most suitable course of action for correcting your overbite and achieving your desired smile.
Overbite and overjet issues can have various underlying causes, and the treatment approach may differ depending on the individual case. Some potential treatment options for correcting overbite include:
Orthodontic Braces: Traditional braces or clear aligners may be used to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions, which can help improve the overbite.
Functional Appliances: For some cases of overbite, functional appliances like bite correctors or Herbst appliances may be used to help reposition the jaw.
Orthognathic Surgery: In severe cases of overbite, jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) may be recommended to reposition the upper and lower jaws for a better bite alignment.
Rubber Bands or Elastics: Using rubber bands or elastics in conjunction with braces can help address certain types of overbites.
The impact on your face and smile after overbite correction can vary depending on the extent of the overbite, the chosen treatment method, and individual facial features. Orthodontic treatment can sometimes have positive aesthetic effects on the face by improving overall facial balance and smile aesthetics.
I recommend scheduling a consultation with a qualified orthodontist to discuss your concerns, review your treatment options, and understand the potential changes that correcting the overbite may bring to your face and smile.
Remember, every dental case is unique, and only an in-person evaluation by a dental professional can provide the best guidance and treatment plan for your specific needs.
