Hi
Yes the overjet problem can get corrected by braces....complete clnucsl and radiological examination should be made whether to know it is extraction or non extraction cases....
Apart from braces , you have other option of aligners...however the usage of aligners is limited to some cases
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for further clinical examination and management
