What will reduce the overbite is the braces them selves and he might also be given elastics that will move the jaw or teeth depending on the overbite etc

Hi I’ve had bite turbos I don’t think they directly impact the overbite it’s just to stop you from biting down on the bracket and breaking the bracket basically well that’s what I was told. And the orthodontist or dentist will be able to remove them quiet easily without damaging any teeth.

I currently have class II elastics and from what the orthodontist told me is they pull your top teeth back and lower forward I think it slowly moves then jaw or gets your used to that forward position slightly I have also been told my next appointment I’ll have a different wire for my teeth that wil...

I have had the Damon and as the above guy mentioned about the gates exactly that however you will still feel pain the first week or two when you eat. Once the pain has gone and the wires get changed you won’t feel that same pain again

Hi I have had Damon braces on from July 2020 and elastics for overjet however they decided to put powerchain on the top teeth from what I have read is that to close gaps ? As I didn’t have many gaps yet maybe only one gap so I was wondering will that help push my upper teeth back to reduce over jet ...

Thank you

Hi I have had Damon braces with elastics as I wasn’t happy with my over jet I did ask my orthodontist if I will need any extractions he did say he will try his best without them to achieve a wide and aesthetic smile. However most people that have had over jet have had extractions that I see online I...

I’ve had questions about my elastics but mine are just normal to cure a over jet, best option is to just ask your Orthodontist any questions you have and ask them to explain they should be able to explain to you in more detail to give you a better understanding as everyone is different.

Best of luck

Ohh I see I’ve had them for a couple months 2-3 at most now but thanks for the reply helps me understand how slow it was and why as I wasn’t aware I thought nothing was happening lol as they have given me 3 different elastics I’m on the third ones now but thank you appreciate it

Hi I have had class 2 elastics now for about 2 months or just over when will I start to see changes as of yet I can’t see any changes so far and there has been no extractions

Thank you for the advice appreciate it!!

Hi I have Damon braces on with elastics for class 2 my orthodontist said they will not need to extract any teeth. However I have seen videos where a lot of people get extractions for over jet. Any advice on this please?

I think I have the same issue I feel like I clench more but I’m not 100% if that makes sense but I do grind I think what elastics do you have to start with the light ones

I have a 9mm overjet and my ortho has used Damon braces to correct that by widening my smile the braces will create space so the top teeth can be pulled back with elastics and bottom jaw move forward slightly I’m currently on my second week now. I did ask about extractions he advised he will only do...

Sounds pretty good was there any extractions in your case? And did you notice any changes to your face and profile?
