My orthodontist said through his expertise opinion I shall finish up treatment very soon, even though that I am still having minor overbite. He said if I would like to further correct overbite, I shall have to wear metal braces for another two years or have jaw surgery, and both are worthless. I would like to get my overbite fixed. However I want to know if there is anything out there that can fix this.

My teeth have crowding, and I have a slight overbite. My two choices were to have a tooth extracted to make room, and then do Invisalign OR have jaw surgery and then do Invisalign. Jaw surgery sounds ridiculously painful, not to mention expensive to compared to a single tooth extraction. My overbite is minor and certainly doesn’t pose any problems, however, I do feel that I would look better if my jaw wasn’t recessive. Does anyone know if an overbite can be corrected without surgery? Will the Invisalign help change it at all? Are there any devices I could use to correct it? I am meeting with him again next week, but just wanted to see if anyone knew the answers to these questions before. Thanks!

I had metal braces for all throughout middle school but my orthodontist was an absolute idiot (I’m not kidding, even my current dentist thinks so) and all he did was suck out all our money and give me a jaw condition called TMJ.
Now I have to put braces back on and I don’t want to wear those terrible metal braces again, especially not entering sophmore year. Are there any cosmetic alternatives for someone with severe overbite? I really like invisalign but it’s only for those with mild overbite.
I’m seeing an orthodontist in a week but I would like some input before then.
