In casual usage only. Properly a buck tooth is an upper incisor or canine that projects outward prominently, whereas an overbite is a malocclusion of all the upper incisors and canines.

I had my elastics for about 3 months and i have a little overbite how long would it take for my overbite to be fixed?

If you have an overbite, and still wear elastic bands, the amount of time you have left can only be answered by your orthodontist. Not everyone's teeth move at the same rate or need the same amount of correction.


How do you know you have an overbite?

Having an overbite is when a person's bottom teeth are further back than their front teeth. The condition can be corrected. I have overbite and I and comfortable with it. In order to get over from the problems of jaw deformities including Overbite, can be corrected by the help of Orthognathic surgery. This surgery actually works and helpful for the people who have inappropriate bite. Oral surgeon repositions the entire jaw bone as per the patient's requirement and makes them in proper alignment as well.

How does a netgear work?

neck gear, bands (rubber bands), headgear and bigger braces all do the same thing. If you have an overbite or under bite then they make them more strait and if you have a under bite or overbite then your upper or lower teeth more develop. The only thing that is different about them is that some take long to strait your teeth and some take longer. (The head/neck gear and bigger braces take a shorter amount of time to strait your teeth and the first few day they will hurt your gums. The bands take longer but they do not hurt.) Hope i helped have fun getter whatever

Invisilign traditional braces or ceramic braces I have a 100 overbite and gap between my front teeth. The cost is pretty much the same but inivisilign won't help the overbite. Which to choose?

There is a common misconception that Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces - this is false. Most people think so only because the company markets intensely to the public. Don't get me wrong, Invisalign is great - but only for certain cases, its not for everyone, and its definitely not a substitute for braces. An overbite and a gap in your front teeth will be best corrected using braces - metal or ceramic. However, you need to visit an orthodontic specialist for a full evaluation. An orthodontist has extra years of training and knowledge of moving teeth the correct way. I am assuming you are an adult - ask yourself are you willing to commit to having braces? How does your overbite negatively affect your teeth? Do you have significant wear on your front teeth because of it? Answering these questions for yourself will help you determine whether you should choose Invisalign or braces. If you send me a smiling picture - drzhu@manhattanbridgeortho.com, I'll let you know whether an overbite correction will significantly change your smile.
