Oldham Orthodontics has been running for many years, which means we’ve seen and heard it all. Including some patients turning down treatment simply because they don’t like the look of braces. Luckily for them though, we offer some of the top appliances in the industry that can give them that discreet look.
Overjet vs Overbite
Overbite and overjet are two types of malocclusion (aka crooked teeth or a "poor bite”). People often confuse them to be the same, but they are uniquely different.
The main difference between overjet teeth and overbite teeth is the angle of the upper teeth and jaw.
Orthodontics can fulfil your dream of a straight and aligned smile. But it’s not just the job of your orthodontic consultant to get you that perfect smile, you also play a part. If you don’t take care of your teeth and braces properly, you could slow down the progress of your new smile. Neglecting good oral care could lead to yellow teeth, tooth decay, and even crooked teeth - meaning your braces will have to stay on longer.
