Almost always yes : Depending on a lot of factors, overbites can usually be corrected by traditional braces or sometimes with invisalign. If it is a severe case surgery may be necessary but it is rarely needed for correction of overbite. Also, overbites can be "fixed" by using crowns and bridges depending on the appearance of the teeth. I would not want to cut down healthy teeth to do crowns unless there is no option.

Most probably: But how it can be done is still the question. It depends on many different factors, including the position of the teeth, facial esthetics, and bone position. Your best bet is to consult with a local orthodontist who can examine you, and with the help of models and radiographs advise you of your treatment options.
