The Importance of Correcting your Overbite from A Plus Dental
Are you self-conscious about your smile?
Do your teeth seem to be misaligned with one another?
Malocclusion can lead to several oral health concerns, including tooth decay, gum disease, and erosion, among many other things.
Untreated overbites may result to the following dental problems:
- Bottom front teeth may harm the gums above the top front teeth
- Speech impediments
- May cause jaw problems
- Unattractive smile
Overbite Correction Treatments
For Children and Teens
Removal of baby teeth – making room for permanent teeth to grow in straight
Growth modification device – helps to better position the jaw
Braces – gradually move the teeth to correct the overbite as well as the jaw
Retainers – used post-braces that help to keep the teeth in the proper place
For Adults
Braces – move the teeth to fix overbites
Teeth extraction – dentists try to avoid this but will do this in very severe overbite cases to give the teeth more freedom to move
Surgery – jaw problems for skeletal-type overbite cases can only be corrected with surgery for adults
