can you solve my overbite without braces

Q. Hi Im a 26 year old from South africa. I have an over bite.I smile by pulling my bottom jaw forward to make it less visible.I need a quick fix thats cost effective. I dont wanne where braces if I have too, let me know

A. There may not be a quick fix solution to your problem. Anyone that offers you one will not be doing the right thing. You could have restorative treatment which would involve crowning your teeth if they are contibuting to your overbite. However if it is a skeletal problem you may not have an option but to wear braces. You are young and you have to keep your teeth for the rest of your life. Don’t cut corners because you may regret it later. Ask your dentist to refer you to an orthodontist for anopinion and you will find out all of the options available to you
