| | Non-Braces Overbite Correction | Ask MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | I read the other questions posted on MeFi, but this is a different case because the primary objective is overbite correction as opposed to the straightening of teeth (had this fixed in high school with retainers, refused to get braces, hence the remaining overbite). |
 | | The way braces fix overbites is through the use of rubber bands attached to the brackets, spanning from the upper teeth to the lower teeth. |
 | | Here, the dentist says "some overbite is normal", but here they say that overbite indicates a class II malocclusion, and requires jaw alignment. |
