Overbite Correction in Murrieta and Corona, CA
Whether you’re seeking cosmetic improvement or relief from jaw discomfort, overbite correction can have a life-changing impact—and we’re here to guide you through it.
What Is an Overbite?
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth extend too far over the lower front teeth. While some degree of overlap is normal, a deep overbite can create both functional and aesthetic issues.
Common Signs You Might Need Overbite Correction
Your upper teeth cover most of your lower teeth when biting down
Difficulty chewing or biting into foods
Jaw discomfort or frequent headaches
Worn or chipped lower teeth
Speech problems, such as a lisp
Gum damage behind your upper front teeth
Without correction, overbites can lead to long-term oral health concerns, which is why early diagnosis and treatment from an orthodontic specialist is important.
Why Overbite Correction Matters
At Waddoups Orthodontics, we believe overbite correction goes beyond improving the look of your smile. Addressing this condition helps protect your dental health, function, and even your long-term comfort.
Health Benefits of Overbite Correction
Improved Oral Hygiene: Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
Reduced Tooth Wear: Correcting your bite prevents abnormal tooth wear and damage over time.
TMJ Relief: A balanced bite reduces strain on your jaw joint, relieving symptoms of TMJ disorder.
Better Function: Eating, speaking, and even breathing can improve with a properly aligned bite.
Boosting Confidence with a Balanced Smile
A corrected overbite can transform your confidence. Many of our patients say they feel more comfortable smiling in photos, speaking at work, and enjoying daily interactions once their treatment is complete.
