The skeletal type of overbite is when the sizes of the jaw are different. Most patients do not need surgery because the difference in jaw size is manageable with non-surgical VENLAY Restorations.
A dental overbite is when the lower jaw closes too far and is pushed back towards the ears by the upper teeth, the chin looks small, and the shape of the face is round. This is the most common overbite and can be treated without jaw surgery or braces in as little as one to three weeks.
