What can i do to fix an overbite?

Braces: There are no short cuts if you have reached puberty.

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. It's best to have an exam with an orthodontist to determine the problem and solutions.

Overbite: Vertical overbite, horizontal overbite (overjet), or both? Is it dental, skeletal, or both? Is that the extent of your malocclusion or just the tip of the iceberg? Best way to fix an overbite is to see an Orthodontic Specialist (Initial Examination usually free) to determine the extent of your problem and the treatments available to correct it.

Braces: Orthodontic or braces can fix and overbite. This procedure requires patience. It can be very successful. Be advised and permanent retainer will probably be bonded to the lower front teeth to prevent a recurrence of the overbite. The overbite tends to recur without the bonded retainer.

Move teeth: If teeth don't meet properly, move the teeth. If jaws don't meet properly, move the jaws. Please have a qualified orthodontic specialist examine you and give you treatment options. The one word answer, however, is "braces.".

Ortho Consultation: There are many options for correcting an overbite in an adult. They all require orthodontic treatment along with other modalities (e.g. elastics, springs, etc). I would suggest that you have an orthodontic consult.
