Overbite Leduc

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth. A slight overbite is normal, but an excessive or deep overbite can lead to issues such as uneven tooth wear, aesthetic concerns, and jaw discomfort.

Overbites are typically measured as a percentage of overlap between the upper and lower teeth. An ideal overbite usually ranges from 5-25%. Significant deviations from this range may require evaluation by a dental professional.

Understanding Overbite Treatment

Corrective measures for an excessive overbite can include braces, aligners, or other orthodontic appliances. In some cases, jaw realignment procedures may be necessary. Early detection and treatment planning are key to achieving a healthy, functional bite.

Maintaining Oral Health

Regular dental checkups help monitor bite alignment and detect potential issues before they become serious. Addressing an overbite can improve both oral health and overall confidence.
