It depends of the severity of the cross bite/overbite/under bite. Also, if you can't decide yourself, consult a certified orthodontist. They will be able to answer any questions that you may have. From personal experience(15 year-old w/ braces for gaps and a slight overbite)I needed them. I have to wear mine for three years, which cost $4200. For you, the price may differ. And again, braces may not be absolutely necessary. If it concerns you that badly, consider getting headgear, and that will clear your problem right up, but braces are need with that as well. Good luck and I hope I was able to clarify a few things.

Not necessarily. The need for braces to correct an overbite depends on the severity of the overbite and its impact on the individual's oral health and function. In some cases, other treatments like tooth extraction or surgery may be recommended instead of braces. A consultation with a dentist or orthodontist is the best way to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
