Overbite Dentistry Ask The Dentist Edward Leventhal Question:
I have 90% overbite. Can braces alone solve the problem or will I have to go for jaw surgery? Is there an alternative to jaw surgery?

Answer:
It would be best if you had a consultation with an orthodontist. Braces can solve some problems, but if jaw surgery is required, there would be other problems underlying with the underbite. Hope this helps.
