The Importance of Correcting your Overbite from Epsom Dental Care

What is an Overbite?

Overbites are present when the upper teeth stick out too far beyond the lower teeth.

Many people don’t think they have an overbite, as they assume their condition is not serious enough for them to seek dental attention.

This could also be because some cases of overbites are too minor to be noticeable.

Untreated overbites may lead to the following problems:

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

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

Overbites need to be corrected as soon as possible. It’s never too late to correct your bite and your smile.
