Overbite Treatment in West Hills

Overbite treatment in West Hills is one of the most common reasons people see an orthodontist. An overbite means the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth more than they should. A small overlap is normal, but a deep overbite can wear down teeth, cause gum irritation, and affect how you chew.

What causes an overbite?

Overbites are often genetic, related to jaw shape or tooth size, and can be influenced by childhood habits like prolonged thumb-sucking. The good news is that overbites respond very well to orthodontic treatment at almost any age.

How we correct an overbite

• Braces: highly effective for moving teeth and improving the bite.
• Invisalign: can correct many overbites discreetly with clear aligners.
• Early treatment: in children, guiding growth can reduce a developing overbite.

Why it is worth fixing

Correcting an overbite protects your teeth from uneven wear, can ease jaw strain, and gives you a more balanced, confident smile. At your free consultation we will measure your bite and recommend the best path.
