The Importance of Correcting your Overbite from Main Beach Dental
Overbites come in different forms.
However, one thing that overbites have in common is the ability to make a person self-conscious about his or her smile.
In severe cases, an overbite may even prove harmful to your health.
Untreated overbites may lead to the following dental problems:
- Bottom front teeth may harm the gums above the top front teeth
- Speech impediments
- May cause jaw problems
- Unattractive smile
