// Understanding
What is an overbite?
An overbite occurs when your upper front teeth overlap over your lower front teeth significantly. A small overlap is normal (around 1-2mm) but a pronounced overbite can affect how you bite, chew and even how you feel about your smile. Sometimes called "buck teeth" an overbite isn't just how your teeth look. Left without treatment it can lead to uneven wear on your teeth, jaw pain, and even difficulty speaking clearly. It is one of the most common bite issues and thankfully one of the most treatable.

Can Clear Aligners Fix an Overbite?
Yes clear aligners are a great way to treat most overbites.
Clear aligners work by applying very precise and controlled pressure to move your teeth to improve how your bite comes together. For many patients, aligners can correct an overbite just as effectively as traditional braces with far more comfort and flexibility.
How Straights Can Help with Overbite
Straights aligners apply precise pressure to adjust tooth position, helping to reduce overbite over time and create a more balanced, comfortable bite.
