I have a really bad overbite is there any way to fix it using retainers instead of braces

Q. I have a really bad overbite and I want to get it fixed without braces. When I went to an orthodontist before, they were going to remove 2 of my top teeth to help push them back faster and make more room in my mouth. Is there any way I could do that but use a retainer instead of braces?

A. A retainer is used after a brace to hold the teeth in place. You might be thinking of an Aligner. this can move the teeth often without using fixed braces although there application can be limited to only certain types of cases. Look up Inman Aligner dentists on google in your area and see if they can give you another option
