Invisalign, Spark & Angel Aligners for Overbite – Forest Road Dental, Hurstville

What Is an Overbite?

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively. In some cases, the lower teeth may even bite into the upper palate. A related condition, called an overjet, is when the upper teeth protrude forward beyond the lower teeth. Both can affect your smile’s appearance, your bite, and your overall oral health.

There are two main types of overbite:

• Dental Overbite – Caused by the position of the teeth, often influenced by habits like thumb-sucking, prolonged pacifier use, nail-biting, or tongue thrusting.

• Skeletal Overbite – Caused by jaw size and shape, often hereditary, where the upper jaw protrudes or the lower jaw is underdeveloped.

Common Causes of Overbite or Overjet

• Thumb-sucking beyond age four, pushing teeth forward

• Prolonged pacifier use during early childhood

• Tongue thrusting – pushing the tongue forward against the teeth when swallowing

• Genetics – inherited jaw size or shape differences

• Jaw growth changes – sometimes due to injury or other conditions

Why You Should Treat an Overbite

1. Protect Your Teeth – Overbites can cause uneven wear and increase the risk of chipping or cracking.

2. Improve Your Smile – Properly aligned teeth improve both aesthetics and function, boosting your confidence.

3. Prevent Jaw Problems – Correcting bite alignment can reduce jaw strain, headaches, and TMJ issues.
