What is the ideal overbite Plz advice

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Dr. Patel, I have had braces now for about 2 years and my orthodontist plans to take them off in a few weeks. I feel I my upper teeth still overlap my bottom teeth too much. I discussed it with her but she just said it was within normal range. A lot of pictures I have been seeing of people that’s had braces have a more flat facial profile. What is the ideal overbite? Should my mustache area protrude out farther than my lower lip area?

My cracked tooth reacts to pressure how can I get it fixed

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
I have a cracked tooth and my dentist plans to fit a gold crown over it because it is a back tooth and this will be the strongest sort of crown. The nerve seems to be healthy so I have not had root canal treatment. However, the tooth does seem to hurt when pressured and I presume this is because the cracked tooth reacts to pressure. Could the crack be repaired so that it doesn’t move when under pressure or must it rely simply on the tooth being held together by the strong crown?
