If I Send You My Dental X-Ray Photo, Can You Tell Me If My Overbite Can Be Fixed?

Q.
Hi, I was wondering if I sent you my dental X-ray, whether you could tell me if my overbite can be corrected? I have a deep overbite and I was wondering if it could be corrected in any way at all? With or without surgery. I just do not like having the overbite and I also lost a tooth and the filling came out of the same tooth because of it. I had a root canal years ago and had a crown and post put in and then that came out maybe because of my overbite as my bottom teeth were pushing right up towards it. I hope you can offer suggestions to help me fix my overbite problems.

Hello and thank you. X-rays might help but what would be best would be photos and study models, which means taking an impression from your teeth and casting in plaster. If you can provide these I could certainly advise you, we may have a number of options to help you treat your overbite. Thank you, Dr Hussein Shaffie.
