Braces???????
Braces will not always fix an overbite. during braces, you may need: rubberbands (elastics), headgear, and a palatal expander. those all can help to fix it. but if you have a servere overbite (sometimes called an overjet) they may suggest realigning ur top and/or lower jaw with surgery.
Reply:if you have really bad teeth then i would suggest braces for you. if you just have a few crooked ones and a little over bite ask your dentist for invisilins. They work alot like braces only less painful. good luck!
Reply:Braces yes and depending on the overbite surgery to realign the jaw.The jaw is broken and redone.A famous person who had this done you might have saw is the female wrestler Chyna.
Reply:I would definitely think that if your teeth are just crooked then you will just have to get braces. The overbite seems to be very common and can be fixed with braces/headgear. I would definitely go to at least three orthodontists and see who gives you a plan you are most financially and psychologically comfortable with. Only in extreme situations, when people have terrible overbites, do orthodontists look to break someone's jaw for the sake of realigning it.
Reply:Depends...you might have too many teeth, causing crowding....which may require tooth extraction and braces.





Invisiline is an excellent alternative to traditional braces, though rather pricey. You should make an appointment with an orthodontist.
Reply:YEAH YOU HAVE TO GET BRACES IF YOU WANT TO GET THEM STRAIGHT WELL AT LEAST THATS THE ONLY THING I KNOW THAT WILL HELP YOU FIX YOUR TEETH
Reply:when you have crooked teeth you can get braces or invisalines. braces or retainers are for overbites too. but if your overbite is really bad, then you might have to get surgery
Reply:The only way to correct an overbite or crooked teeth would be to get braces, yes. But believe me, braces and dentistry have come a long way since the old school metal "hardware" that everyone used to have to sport.





Depending on the severity of your problem and how much money you are willing to spend , there are several alternatives.





One alternative is what they call "invisible traditionals". These are braces that are affixed to your teeth, the same was as the old school ones, but they are more lightweight, smaller and clear or tooth colored. These braces will give you the same result as the metal ones, but will be more comfortable and give the appearance of having no braces on your teeth.





Another alternative is 'behind the teeth" braces. these braces are small and lightweight, just like the ones listed above, but are put on the backside of your teeth, so that they are virtually invisible. They are made out of plastic and smooth so that they wount cut into your tounge as you speak or eat.





The third, and I think, the best alternative are 'invisiligns". These things are a miracle and worked wonders for several of my friends. The dentist will take a molds of your teeth at different stages. You will be fit with a clear, invisible, plastic piece that is in the almost exact shape of your teeth, to go over the tops and/or bottoms. Over time, your teeth will begin to shift into the position that the invisilign wants. Once the teeth move a bit, and fit exactly into the shape, your denstist will remold and make another, and another, and another, until the desired effect is reached.





The best part, you can get away with only wearing these at night. In the event that you need to wear them in public they are almost COMPLETLEY unnoticible. They are removable for meals, and harbor almost no complications.
Reply:If you have a really bad overbite the orthodontist will ask you if you want to wear headgear to bed to speed up the process and to help it along. Also, sometimes, if your overbite is REALLY bad, they might need to break your jaw and set it align and then put the braces on with time. Ive heard its not worth it.
