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!

Principles of Orthodontics.

It really depends, if you are concerned about your looks when having braces, then you might as well choose lingual orthodontics.
Im not too sure if one or the other is faster but i know these are faster than regular braces (with the coloured rubber bands)http://www.gacinovation.com/
i had braces and Im not too sure if these are the braces I got but they look and seem like it. they are smaller and they are easier to move (meaning when your teeth change shape , it hurts less)
hope this really helps!
ps. i have my braces off now, my friends say they are so used to having me with my braces off i look different even though with those special braces on, it only took less than a FULL year.

I live in northern oklahoma and am going to college in shreveport. My current orthodontist thinks it would be best if i transfer but has remained rather unhelpful about the whole process.

I’m already interested in both, but the problem is that I just can’t choose one to focus on for the next few years as I finish high school.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I’m enrolling in dual enrollment at a local community college. The application is due tomorrow. I want to become an orthodontist in the future. At this school there are two possible courses: Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene. Which one should I take?
Thanks!

My orthodontist suggest that she MIGHT have to remove teeth to make space in my mouth. Which teeth normally get removed. I hope not my front 6 teeth.
Is there a rule of thumb about which teeth get removed?

I had spoken to one of their offices where they took my information so that they could send me a credit so that I can get my work finished somewhere else. I called today and was told by the same office that they closed or sold the office. I never received any credit and have unfinished orthodontic work. Is there anything I can do. Please Help. I cannot afford to pay for treatment.
