Depends.: There's a really wide variety of conditions . You will need to consider the costs of both the orthodontic treatment and the associated surgery. The surgery may require 1 jaw to be moved or both. This changes costs considerably. Also, does the surgeon perform these cases in the hospital or in a surgicenter. Hospitals tend to be more expensive.

Depends on how to do: The cost will depend on how to correct this: surgically, orthodontics or cosmetically.

Depends: A vertical and horizontal overbite of 2-3 mm is normal. A more extreme overbite can be corrected with cosmetic restorative procedures. Some may need orthodontic treatment but that can result in bone loss. Some can also be corrected surgically. Please seek an evaluation from a good restorative dentist/ prosthodontist. He or she will help you decide if one or a combination of techniques are right.

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 and fees.
