How Can Overbite Problem Be Corrected?

To respected doctor, i am jay, 24 years old guy from kolkata . I have huge overbite problem. My upper teeths moved too much forward than lower teeth.. I went to visit some orthodontist..some of them said it can't be fixed and some of them said it can be fixed after analysing the X ray report. I am getting confused. Even an orthodontist also said that after fixing my teeth i have to wear a removable brace all the time otherwise it will become same as earlier. . That is my upper teeths again will be starting to move forward again. I need suggestions what should i do. And i want to where can i get good orthodontics treatment in kolkata.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of overbite problem which seems to get corrected by orthodontic treatment only as positioning of teeth forward and bite will not help. In your case a retainer and alignment of teeth brace need to be positioned every time as chances of relapse are always there. I would suggest you to visit oral physician once and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly. You should get overbite corrected as in long term it will give you problems related to gums and esthetics.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
