Can you still get an overbite with your adult teeth?

Yes: A consult with an orthodontist will help you decide if you need to take corrective measures.

Yes: Certainly can. See your orthodontist for an evaluation. I have many patients over the age of 40 who get adult orthodontics. You have a long life ahead of you and it is best to keep your teeth in the proper position so they do not wear unevenly and require extensive and costly reconstruction later. As a prosthodontist, i see these situations all the time.
