An "overbite" is commonly known to the layperson as front teeth that stick out (buck teeth).
But this "sticking out" is actually called "Overjet" to dentists and orthodontists.
There are 3 main reasons for overjet: 1) Front teeth/jaw are too far forward; 2) lower teeth/jaw are too far back; and 3) a combination of 1) and 3).
Depending on the severity of the case, overjet can be fixed with orthodontic treatment and elastics (commonly known as rubber bands).
Elastics can be used with both braces and Invisalign (Note: I will upload another video demonstrating elastics with Invisalign.
If overjet is too severe, a combination of orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery may be indicated.
