Is an overbite good?!


Question: I have heard its better to have a slight overbite as apposed to your teeth being completely lined up. Because being lined up will cause them to wear on each other. So that a slight overbite, not a huge one, is actually normal and good. What do you think?

Yes, this is true. A slight overbite is good, and normal. Having them exactly lined up will actually cause grinding.

its not good, because your teeth rub and wear on the sides. i have a slight over bite and i dont have to much of a problem. then again i have had it all my life so i guess i am use to it.

Yes, that's what the Orthodontist told me.

i have one not a big 1 but its not that bad but u should go to ur doc and get braces

yup, thats right

Its not good braces try and make teeth all meet but most people that want crowns or veneers on their front teeth ask them to be slightly forward then the rest, appearance wise a slight overbite is very attractive
