I am 33, & have a rather severe overbite which has led to grinding & some loss of teeth in my molars. I am getting ready to have implant surgery to replace my two front teeth that were lost due to crown failure, but my overbite is driving me nuts too. The dentist told me he wants to do the implant surgery first, & then worry about fixing my bite, which is fine with me. So what are my options for that will I need full braces to do that, or is there now a device that can be worn & taken out to help realign the jaw to the correct position? Thanks!

Hi.

My best guess would be that since you're an adult already, you could get braces. The other option would be jaw surgery.

I'd suggest you get a consultation with an orthodontist and see what they recommend.
