Dr. David Kemp and the Kemp Orthodontics team have been in practice for almost 28 years, and in that time we have treated many an overbite. An overbite is basically an imbalance between the upper and lower teeth or jaws in which the upper teeth protrude far beyond the lower teeth. Simply speaking, overbite is a vertical measurement of the front teeth in balance with the lower teeth. Everyone should have a bit of an overbite, but in some cases you can have too much of an overbite. Sometimes the overbite is so extreme the lower front teeth bite into the roof of the mouth. We call this a deep impinging overbite. An overbite is a common orthodontic problem that can be corrected.
If you need any additional information, please contact our office. It would be our pleasure to schedule a complimentary orthodontic examination. At Kemp Orthodontics we specialize in creating beautiful smiles.
