Overbite Correction
Correcting overbites is something we do every day. It just depends on what the cause of the over bite is. Sometimes it is the shape of the arches which can be easily improved with braces.
More challenging problems are when the teeth are too big for their jaw or there is a difference between the upper and lower jaws. In these cases it is sometimes neccesary for the removal of teeth.
