Overbite and Braces #Shorts

Braces Overbite vs Overjet #Shorts Edition

In this short, I will be answer the question of "do i really have an overbite?" and "whats the difference between an overbite and overjet?" A lot of the time when we're talking about braces or invisalign, we improperly call overjet as overbite. Overbite is how much your teeth overlap in the vertical dimension so if you have a big overbite, you have a deep bite and if you don't have enough overbite, you have an open bite. The term a lot of people are referring to is overjet, where the upper teeth stick out too far forward compared to the lower teeth. The opposite of a big overjet is an underbite! Want to learn more? Ask questions below or check out my full video on Overbite vs Overjet!

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me via the comments below!

See you next time!

This guy is making me question my overbite-

[nanushka]

Yep! Class II bite, overjet and minimum overbite. I'm 10 months in my treatment and even without the rubber bands, I can see the difference. I'll get my rubber bands in January!

[alihadi]

I do have an overbite but I don’t think it looks bad so is it necessary to fix it?

[echo]

Hey, my orthodontist recommended the carriere motion appliance. Do you have experience with it and can you make a video on it? Is it actually more effective than regular elastics on braces?

[NK]

I’m getting braces next month for overbite, midline correction, crowning and spacing. Oh yes.
Edit: crowding

[moonmaiden]

I’m almost finished with my braces and my overbite is still huge at 10mm. I look like a Simpsons character.

[quitemundane]

Thanks for this clarification. I have a mild overjet so now have braces to correct it (among other issues).

[thankunext]

[sherhanajainul]

Hi Doc. There's possible to fix for those people have an overbite, ?

[ulubaonanefe]

Hi doc. I personally know I need braces but I can’t afford it and moreover I live in Nigeria, Africa. What’s one to do?
I think I have an overbite

[RexzyBanz]

i started pushing my jaw forward when i was around 11-12 and now i have a underbite, back then i had an average overbite

[romanakondrlova]

I currently have braces and I also have an over bite, for which I am wearing the elastics. I just don't understand how elastics can improve this. I have been wearing them for about 8 months and I am not sure if something has changed. Could you explain the process how the elastics work with the roots of the teeth?

[zfz-thku]

Whoa... So i have posterior crossbite and an overjet... Hopefully i can get braces soon

[redciroc]

I dont have an overbite my front teeth actually meet equality

[Createwithyogita]
