braces or teeth filled down for an overbite

Q. i have an overbite and i wondered what could be done to sraighten them and if teeth can be filed down?

A. An overbite is very common and aesthicaly there is nothing wrong with having one. If it is something that bothers you a lot, I recommend booking in for a consultation with an orthodontist as braces in the only option available for correcting an overbite. Unfortunately your teeth cannot be filed down to correct this situation.
