Overbite Correction with Vaught Orthodontics
Whether you’re a teen getting braces for the first time or an adult ready to invest in your health and smile, Dr. Robert Vaught and Dr. Kate Vaught, our experienced father-daughter duo, are here to guide you every step of the way.
What Exactly Is an Overbite?
An overbite, or “deep bite,” is when the top front teeth extend too far over the bottom teeth. Some overlap is normal, but too much can lead to long-term oral health issues and jaw discomfort.
Signs You Might Have an Overbite:
- Your upper teeth almost completely cover your lower front teeth
- Your lower teeth seem “hidden” when you smile or bite
- Difficulty chewing, especially hard or crunchy foods
- Soreness in your jaw or frequent jaw clicking
- Noticeable wear or damage on lower teeth
At Vaught Orthodontics, we’ve helped hundreds of patients catch these signs early and correct them with effective, customized care.
Why It’s Important to Treat an Overbite
Correcting an overbite isn’t only about creating a picture-perfect smile. It’s also about improving function and preventing damage to your teeth and jaw over time.
Benefits of Overbite Correction:
- Stronger oral hygiene habits: Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss
- More comfortable eating and speaking
- Reduced risk of TMJ pain and jaw tension
- Protection from uneven wear, chipping, and damage
An untreated overbite can strain your jaw muscles, interfere with speech, and wear down enamel prematurely.
Overbite Correction Options at Vaught Orthodontics
Flexible Solutions for Every Smile
We know that every smile is unique, so we tailor our treatments around your lifestyle, age, and bite condition.
Braces for Overbite Treatment
Metal braces remain a tried-and-true option for correcting deep overbites—especially in more complex cases. Today’s braces are sleeker and more efficient than ever before.
Best for: Teens, adults, and severe bite misalignments
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Looking for something subtle? Invisalign® clear aligners offer a discreet way to shift teeth into alignment. They’re removable, nearly invisible, and a favorite among adults and teens.
Best for: Mild to moderate overbites, professionals, or active patients
Adult Orthodontics
More adults than ever are seeking treatment—and for good reason. Whether you’re preparing for a big life event or simply want to feel more confident, we make it easy to fit orthodontics into your routine.
What to Expect from Your Overbite Treatment
Step 1: Your Consultation
We begin with a full exam and digital imaging at either our Savannah or Richmond Hill location. Dr. Robert or Dr. Kate will talk through your bite and explain your options.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Your treatment plan is based on your goals, dental needs, and lifestyle. You’ll get a timeline and a clear view of your expected results.
Step 3: Active Correction
As your bite begins to shift, we’ll monitor your progress with regular visits. Whether you choose braces or Invisalign, we’re here to keep everything on track.
Step 4: Retention
Once your smile is aligned, we’ll provide a custom retainer to help maintain your results long-term.
