Question:
I have an overbite that seems to be getting worse. When I bite food, I have to grind my teeth back and forth to tear off the food.

Can this be fixed with braces or another option? ...Visitor from FL

Answer:
I would seek the advice of an orthodontist for placing braces. They can help immensely by reducing your overbite and making the back teeth fit together properly for chewing.

Crowning all your teeth can work also, but is very expensive compared to braces.
