How long does it take to fix an overbite?

  • ive been wearing braces for almost 2 years now and my teeth have become straight they were soo bad before but now their straight but i still have an overbite..when i bite my front teeth go in the middle of my lower teeth..and i have been wearing 1/8'' elastics 24/7 and i only take them out when im eating. and before when i wore them it usually hurts and that was because my teeth was moving but now they dont hurt but i still have an overbite..help me!!!!!

  • Answer:

    There is no definte answer. 2 years is just an average. I had mine for 4 years. Depends how you respond to treatment. If your orthodontist does it too fast, he can cause irreversable damage to your teeth, so try to be patient about it.

WHY haven't you asked your orthodontist??? I mean TWO years and you still have an overbite, for heaven's sake, ask a couple questions when you're in that chair.

my overbite is worse than yours..when i bite down, you cant see ANY of my bottom teeth! im getting braces next week and he said it should only take 1.5-2 years..so, if youve already had yours for 2 years, maybe you should ask your ortho about it.
