Can braces cure an overbite?!


Question:

Can braces cure an overbite?

Can braces cure and overbite or do I have to get headgear. I don't want to get a headgear though... :(


Answers:

I'm pretty sure they can cure overbites. But I think if it is bad enough you might need head gear. Right away my orthodontists pretty much said i wouldnt need headgear but my sister might. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing how bad of an over bite/under bite you have. But since I did have an overbite my orthodontist had me wear these tiny rubber bands that connect the top and bottom braces together. One on each side. This in turn pulled my teeth in the right position. Just keep in mind it hurrrts soooooooooo bad worse than when you first get your braces on so take a lot of pain medication before the visit....
