Will i my teeth fall out if i have a big overbite?

No, but...: Overbite Telly's you that teeth (and possibly jaws) are not meeting, not functioning, properly. Ask your Dentist to refer you to an Orthodontic Specialist for an initial examination (in the US usually free). The Orthodontist can then discuss the options for treating your malocclusion.

Not necessarily: Keep all your teeth clean and visit your dentist twice a year for an examination and professional cleaning.

See DDS: At age 20, see your dentist for a complete periodontal and caries check. If orthodontic treatment is indicated, the dentist may refer you to an orthodontist after your periodontal and caries needs are addressed.
