Understanding Overbite

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap significantly with the lower front teeth, protruding forward beyond the lower teeth. While a slight overbite is normal, severe overbites can lead to dental issues such as uneven wear, jaw pain, and decreased self-confidence. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we specialize in correcting overbites to achieve proper jaw alignment and improve oral health and aesthetics.

Our Overbite Correction Solutions

Orthodontic Treatment: Braces or clear aligners may be recommended to gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment, reducing the severity of the overbite and improving overall bite function.
Orthognathic Surgery: In cases of severe overbite or jaw misalignment, orthognathic surgery may be necessary to reposition the jaws and achieve optimal bite alignment.
Palatal Expanders: For patients with narrow dental arches contributing to the overbite, palatal expanders may be used to gradually widen the upper jaw, creating additional space for the teeth and improving alignment.
Functional Appliances: Certain orthodontic appliances, such as headgear or bite correctors, may be utilized to modify jaw growth patterns and address overbite issues in growing children and adolescents.

Benefits of Overbite Correction

Improved Bite Function: Correcting the overbite enhances the way the teeth come together, promoting better chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and overall oral function.
Reduced Jaw Discomfort: Proper jaw alignment reduces strain on the jaw muscles and joints, alleviating discomfort associated with TMJ disorders and jaw misalignment.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Achieving a balanced bite and harmonious facial profile can improve the appearance of your smile and boost confidence and self-esteem.
