Yes. They push back your overbite and when your overbite is small enough your orthodontist will fit you with train tracks.

I have an orthodontist appointment tomorrow and am due to get train tracks this may but will almost definitely be fitted with them earlier. They really improve your bite and they make a big difference to your teeth even before you get train tracks. Am I rambling? I am.

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.

A consultation with a dentist or orthodontist is the best way to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
