Overjet Treatment in West Hills

Overjet treatment in West Hills corrects front teeth that stick out horizontally, a condition often called protruding teeth or buck teeth. An overjet is different from an overbite: overjet describes how far the upper teeth project forward of the lower teeth, and it is one of the most common reasons people seek orthodontic care.

Why an overjet is worth treating

• Protection: protruding front teeth are more likely to be chipped or injured.
• Function: a large overjet can affect biting and lip closure.
• Confidence: bringing the teeth back into line is one of the most rewarding changes to a smile.

How we fix an overjet

• Braces or Invisalign to move the teeth and improve the bite relationship.
• Functional appliances in growing children, to guide the jaws; see functional appliances.
• Early evaluation so protruding teeth can be protected sooner.

Get an honest assessment

The right approach depends on whether the overjet comes from the teeth, the jaws, or both. At a consultation an orthodontist measures your bite and explains your options clearly.
