Anoverbite is a type of dental misalignment in which the upper teeth protrude past the lower teeth more than they should. While it’s normal for the upper teeth to somewhat overlap the lower teeth, a significant overlap of two to four millimeters is considered a dental overbite.
In many cases, an overbite is a genetic trait that runs in families. How your jaw is shaped will dictate how your teeth align in your mouth. However, other habits that may cause an overbite, particularly in young children, include:
When children develop these habits at a young age, it can cause the teeth to jut outward as they grow. If left untreated, the overbite can worsen and lead to further issues. Speak to an orthodontist about Reno pediatric braces to avoid complications.
Why Should You Correct An Overbite?
In addition to aesthetic concerns, an overbite can cause health issues and dental conditions, including:

How To Fix An Overbite With Braces
Orthodontic treatments are an effective way to straighten teeth, correct jaw misalignments, and enhance your smile’s appearance. If you have an overbite, your orthodontist may recommend braces or invisible aligners to fix it.
Braces work by applying consistent pressure to the teeth to pull them into a more ideal position. Brackets are attached to the teeth, with an archwire running through each one. Over several months, the wire is gradually tightened to move the teeth and correct the overbite.
Absolute Dental is a preferred provider for most insurances, unions, and hotels that include: Aetna, Ameritas, Boon-Chapman, Caesars Palace, Cigna, Delta Dental, Diversified, Geha, Guardian, Harrah’s, HealthSCOPE Benefits, Health Plan of Nevada (HPN), Humana, Liberty, Met-Life, MGM-MIRAGE, Premier Access, The Standard, Station Casinos, Teachers Health Trust, United Concordia, United Healthcare, Venetian, and The Zenith. We also accept Medicaid.
If you do not see your dental insurance listed here, just give us a call to confirm!
As the most trusted name in Reno orthodontics, Absolute Dental offers the latest treatments with friendly service and professional support. Here are the types of braces available in our Reno offices to treat overbites.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment in children and teens. They use durable metal brackets and wires with elastic bands to correct mild to severe dental misalignments. They are also a cost-effective treatment that works for most budgets.
Ceramic Braces
While ceramic or clear braces work the same way as metal braces, they use tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend in with your smile. As a less noticeable treatment, ceramic braces are a popular option for those who feel self-conscious about metal braces.
Invisible Braces
Invisible braces are another orthodontic treatment that can effectively correct mild to moderate overbites. Rather than brackets and wires, invisible braces use a series of clear plastic alignment trays that fit directly over the teeth. They are much more discreet than metal or ceramic braces.
Invisalign
Absolute Dental is proud to offerReno Invisalign for patients with overbites. The Invisalign system consists of clear aligners worn for a set period before switching to the next in the series. Over several weeks, the aligners progressively correct the overbite without bulky braces. Because Invisalign trays are virtually invisible, others may not even know you’re wearing them.
