Not only can an overbite cause TMJ pain and damage your teeth, it often also contributes to:
- Facial Asymmetry
- Weak Chins
- Worn Teeth
- Airway/sleep apnea
- Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ)

An alternate approach to years of braces which may or may not be able to fully correct the overbite, is to consider physiologic or neuromuscular overbite treatment. This is non-surgical overbite correction and involves finding the correct physiologic position for your jaw, neck, and facial muscles. This position almost always helps facial symmetry, corrects lower 1/3 of the face and allows for a healthier individual. Additionally, it usually helps the airway as well, a term coined, airway-centric dentistry.
