What to do if i have braces at the moment and they will fix the overbite eventually. once i have a perfect bite.. will i stop grinding my teeth?

Not necessarily: People with perfectly straight teeth also grind their teeth. You may need a bruxism appliance after your orthodontic care is completed.

No, braces will not: No, braces will not make you stop grinding your teeth. They will correct your bite and minimize stress on your jaw/teeth. Your orthodontist will recommend a custom retainer/night guard after your active braces treatment.
