Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

Im really scared, because my dentist said I need to go to the orthodontics and what not, but I dont want braces. Like my teeth are straightish haha but I have a small overbite will I need braces?

What is a “Force”?

Yes you can use invisalign even with extractions

My teeth are all pretty straight, it’s just that I have an overbite. Is there another way to fix it other than having to get braces? Is that way any cheaper, and how long would it take to fix it? I don’t want to get surgery though.

I have a overbite that’s not too bad but its been 6 months since i got my braces on and they havent given me elastics or headgear or anything. So im wondering if they start working on your overbite after your teeth are aligned, or during it?

I got 6 veneers on the top row of my teeth 4 years ago to cover a gap that I used to have, for two reasons: i didnt want braces, and because I had a chipped tooth in the front. But now I have a HUGE overbite that i want to get rid of (huge as in you cannot eve see my bottom row of teeth). nobody notices but, it annoys me. Can i get invisalign to fix this problem?

How is an overbite treated generally? I know that rubber bands are used sometimes but are there any more ways to treat one?

I have na overbite and crowded teeth would invisalign be good for me?

Could it be billed as medical if I got braces to correct my bite? It causes discomfort…esp. when eating certain things.

Overjet measures the HORIZONTAL difference between the front biting edge of your upper incisors vs. that of the lower incisors when your teeth are in their normal bite position (when all your teeth are biting together, what we call “maximum intercuspation”).
Overbite measures the VERTICAL overlap between the front biting edge of your upper incisors vs. that of the lower incisors when your teeth are in their normal bite position.
Overbite and overjet in themselves is only a small part of facial appearance, so on their own one can’t really say what is “more worse on facial profile.”
Hope this helps!
