you will if you have a space between your teeth or you need a tooth moved to fill a space (like in your case). but for the overbite, the powerchain has nothing to do with fixing a bite problem. it also depends on how your orthodontist wants to move your teeth, in what order because when you move some teeth they will move others to make space and then the spaces will close. i would ask your orthodontist (or if you want a parent to ask for you, if you are of a younger age) i hope i helped

oh honey, that depends on the case itself... u need it if ur dentist said that... any way i'm a general practice dentist and i should not cut the way from my side

I had an slight overbite and a gap between my two front teeth. I wore a powerchain for 8-10 weeks last summer. It hurts, but it was worth it!
