Orthodontic consult: Excessive overjet and overbite is a problem that tends to worsen with age, and could lead to gum problems and what i call "overstressing" the remaining teeth. Talk to a dentist or orthodontist to discuss options. Always consult with two or more different orthodontic offices before starting any treatment.

Consultation: Deep overbite and overject can get corrected with orthodontic treatment. Invisalign and conventional braces are way to correct them.

See a Pro: Of overbite/overjet not within normal limits, in all probability you are looking at the tip of the iceberg. Other teeth and your jaws may be malpositioned. Ask your general dentist to refer you to the professional specialist that treats malocclusion, a qualified orthodontist. Be wary of the non-specialist that says they can "fix" your problem.
