What do braces do to get rid of your overbite?
i just got braces (btw i am 13). I know i have an overbite, and i have to keep my braces on for 2 years. But how does it get rid of your overbite or underbite.
Answer
On your braces there are hooks they will give you these little rubber bands called elastics when you are ready. They will tell you how to put them on and when to wear them and what not, these rubber bands make your braces process go faster. SO wear them when you have to!

They allow the vertical growth of the posterior teeth while they put the anterior teeth fixed in place, then when the back teeth are grown the anterior teeth separate from each other like a scissor and your increased overbite is gone.
While you have braces your teeth move into place. when youre ready your dentist will give you elastics and show you how to put them on to move the overbite and make a perfect smile.
Braces and rubber bands. The rubber bands help to pull your teeth either forward or backwards to make your teeth straight. Go to YouTube videos about rubber bands. [source: Yahoo! Answers]
