Question:
I'm 35 years old. I have an overbite. My two front teeth touch my lower gums and push them down. Sometimes it hurts. What are my options? If I get braces to push the teeth back, I'm afraid my back teeth won't touch. ...Visitor from MA

Answer:
The answer to your problems is orthodontic treatment. Whether braces or some other modality of treatment is appropriate for you depends on your specific situation.

As far as your back teeth go, don't worry about it. A skilled Orthodontist can resolve your problem without any problems occurring with your back teeth (i.e. they will fit together perfectly). Modern techniques coupled with orthodontic wizardry will readily resolve your issues.
