Braces For Overbite

See when fixed braces may be recommended for overbite correction and what to ask before comparing braces and clear aligners.

How braces can help overbite cases

Fixed braces can move teeth in a controlled way and may be used with bite-opening mechanics, elastics, or other appliances depending on the overbite pattern.

When aligners may also be discussed

Clear aligners may be suitable for some overbite cases, but fixed braces can be preferred where the bite needs more complex correction.

What affects treatment planning

Planning depends on overbite depth, overjet, crowding, tooth wear, jaw relationship, gum health, and whether the goal is cosmetic alignment or functional bite correction.
