How long will it take to fix an overbite with braces?

Usually 18-24 months: Typically, it will take 18-24 months of bands and brackets to correct most overbites. Most cases take 24 months. Extreme cases will take longer and may require surgery in addition to the braces.

It varies: Orthodontic treatment length will vary depending on the severity of the problem being treated, faithfully following treatment instructions, etc. An orthodontist treating you can give you an estimated treatment length.

Overbite: In layman's terms, an "overbite" typically refers to the upper front teeth sticking out horizontally, further than the lower front teeth. An orthodontist defines an "overbite" as the vertical overlap of the upper front teeth over the lower front teeth. They are very different situations unfortunately with the same name. Have an exam with an orthodontist to determine the problem & time involved.
