How is overbite fixed with braces?

Complex answer: There is so much that goes into orthodontics. There are measurements that are made with certain x-rays, there are models of the mouth and then a treatment plan is created. For each patient it is a little different. Simple answer is the wires and bracket placement allow for teeth to move where the dentist/orthodontist wants them to go.

Depends: Is it a horizontal overbite, a vertical overbite, or both. Are teeth out of position, are bones misaligned, or both. Please see a qualified Orthodontic Specialist who can evaluate your malocclusion (bad bite), determine what 's at fault and why, and what would be the most effective treatment modalities for you.

Forsus springs: are the most common overbite correction technique that is used in orthodontic treatment with braces. Of course, hey are not appropriate for everyone but in many cases they are an effective way to make the upper and lower teeth articulate properly. Ask your orthodontist about Forsus springs.
