What is an Overbite?
Why should I treat my overbite?
Treating overbite (protruding) teeth has upsides that extend beyond aesthetics. Overbite correction helps improve overall oral health by aligning your teeth to ensure a better bite. Dezy aligners envelop the entire set of teeth enabling the misaligned teeth to move freely into the desired position.
An overbite can also cause
Breathing difficulty
Severe overbite can make your airways narrow; increasing your chances of snoring and sleep apnea
Jaw pain
An improper bite affects the jaw joints, adjoining ligaments, and muscles causing temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Difficulty or pain while chewing
Uneven teeth make it difficult to bite and chew food.
Tooth decay or cavities
Misaligned teeth are hard to clean resulting in plaque build-up and cavities.
Low Self-esteem
You deserve to always feel like your best self and an overbite shouldn’t bring you down.

Other teeth problems
Crowded teeth
The jaw isn’t large enough to fit all the teeth leading to crowding, plaque build-up, tooth decay, and gum disease.
Teeth Gap
This condition arises when there is unusual space between teeth causing food to get stuck in the spaces. Closing this gap is easy with our Aligners.
Deep Bite
This happens when the upper front teeth disproportionately overlap the bottom front teeth when the back teeth are closed causing discomfort. Our aligners help solve this problem.
Open Bite
When the upper and lower front teeth don't touch each other when the mouth is fully closed, displaying an opening, it is called an ‘Open Bite’. This can be easily corrected with our aligner treatment.
Frequently asked questions
01
What are buck teeth?
Buck teeth is the casual term used for an overbite or protruding teeth condition. This type of misalignment occurs when the upper front teeth close out far ahead of your lower teeth when you close your mouth.
02
Do overbites worsen with age?
Yes, overbites can worsen with age as the space between the upper and lower front teeth can increase over time; this worsens the overbite. A deep overbite is more concerning and will require additional restorative treatment to be fixed.
03
What is considered a severe overbite?
A normal overbite is when the vertical overlap is 2mm to 4mm. When the gap is between 4 mm to 6 mm or more, it is known as a deep bite or deep overbite. When the upper teeth completely envelop the lower teeth and even go into the lower gum, it is called a severe overbite.
04
What are the causes of an overbite?
- Hereditary and genetic causes such as a particular jaw size and shape being passed on
- Sucking in the thumb past the age of 3 or 4 can cause buck teeth
- Sucking on Pacifiers, just like the thumb can cause an overbite
- Tongue-thrusting causes overbite
- Teeth problems such as extra, impacted or missing teeth can cause buck teeth
05
What are the types of overbites?
There are two groups of crossbites: dental and skeletal overbite. Skeletal overbites happen as a result of improper jawbone development which causes the jaw and teeth to grow incorrectly. A dental overbite occurs as a result of misaligned teeth i.e. when teeth are in the wrong position.
06
What happens if I don’t treat buck teeth?
If you do leave your buck teeth untreated, it can lead to overall oral and health problems such as decaying teeth, cavities, difficulty in eating and chewing, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), speech issues and breathing disorders.
07
What causes an overbite?
An overbite is generally caused by a skeletal problem, dental problem or a combination of both.
08
Can an overbite be fixed naturally?
No, an overbite cannot be fixed naturally, you will have to use either aligners, braces or go through surgery. It is possible to avert overbites that are caused by childhood habits like the use of pacifiers, thumb-sucking, and chewing pencils.
09
What are the various treatment options for an overbite?
- Aligners – removable and transparent plastic trays that are firmly fitted on your teeth and apply pressure progressively achieving the perfect position
- Braces – use of metal brackets and wires to push the buck teeth to the desired position
- Palate expansion – this is used to treat overbite conditions in children and adolescents whose jaw is too small. It is an appliance attached to upper teeth to slowly widen the jaw and palate
- Jaw surgery in the case of a severe overbite condition
10
Why are clear aligners the preferred overbite treatment?
Clear aligners are more suited than other traditional forms of dental treatments. As they are invisible, removable, and show quick results with fewer trips to the orthodontist.

Very Convenient
It's hassle free. Will definitely recommend it to my friends and family. What I liked the most was that they sent a dentist to my home for the free scan. It was very convenient and the orthodontist explained the treatment process in detail during the consultation.

Dezy made it so easy for me
Pretty easy to book the scan. The scanning was scheduled for the next day. Dr Priyal visited my home on time and was very efficient with the whole process. The payment process is hassle-free. Although I made full payment, I feel the EMI options make it easier for people to pay for their treatment. Overall a great experience.
