Overbite: Overbite is only one of the components of a malocclusion. Jaw pain may be coincident or caused by your malocclusion. Please see a specialist Orthodontist for initial examination (usually free) and a discussion of the severity of your problem and the need for treatment. And by the way, at 19 you are considered to be an adult, responsible for your own health care.
