Yes: An edge to edge bite may be corrected with braces or it may require a combination of braces and maxillofacial surgery. Depends on whether you have a 'dental problem' or a 'skeletal' problem and your orthodontist should be able to tell you which.

Traction: Braces are a handle placed on teeth. The wires connecting the teeth act as guides for tooth movement. Add to that a power source, such as rubber bands, springs, headgear, jaw surgery, power chains, etc, and teeth can be moved along the wires int better occlusion. Please ask your dentist to refer you to a qualified orthodontic specialist for an examination (often complimentary).
