Overbite Treatment in Closter, NJ
An overbite is one of the most common bite problems we treat. It means the upper front teeth overlap too far over the lower front teeth when you bite down. A small overlap is normal — a deep or excessive overbite is not, and left untreated it can wear down the lower teeth, strain the jaw, and affect the balance of the face.
Before
AfterWhat causes an overbite?
Overbites are usually genetic — the size or position of the jaws is inherited. Childhood habits like prolonged thumb-sucking or pacifier use can make it worse, as can missing or crowded teeth that let the bite deepen over time.
Why treat an overbite?
Beyond appearance, a deep overbite places uneven force on the back teeth and can wear or chip the lower front teeth. Many patients notice jaw tension or clicking. Correcting the bite protects your teeth long-term and restores a balanced, confident smile.
How we correct an overbite
Dr. Vaysman treats overbites with braces or Invisalign, depending on the severity and your preference. Treatment gently repositions the teeth — and, in growing children, guides jaw development — so the upper and lower teeth meet correctly. Most cases finish in 12–24 months. See real overbite corrections in our before-and-after results.
