When does an overbite become a problem?

From what I know, most people have an overbite to a certain extent. How bad would one's overbite have to be in order for them to need orthodontic treatment, though? I ask this because I think I have a slight overbite now (my top six teeth cover the upper part of my bottom teeth) and two molars in th...

What's the difference between Invisalign and OrthoClear?

Is one of better quality than the other or are they just different companies that do the same thing?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Would orthodontics be necessary to move just one tooth?

Just curious. Let's say your other teeth are in good position, with the exception of one tooth that is out of place to where it should be. Would you just use braces on that one tooth or would you just do some sort of surgery to transition its movement?

In your opinion, what type of braces work the best?

Hi, I'm considering getting braces in the near future and am doing some research on the different types of orthodontics out there. So, as far as time, visibility, results, etc, what type of braces seem to be the most widely acclaimed? I'm not tooooo worried about cost, since I have pretty good cover...

Thanks, but unfortunately I do not have pictures to share with you guys at this moment.

I guess I'll just ask my dentist next time to see what can be done and play it by ear from there.

A couple of questions

Hi, I'm new to these forums but would ask a couple of things. I do not at this current time have any braces/orthodontics, but do have three gaps in my front upper four teeth (two are rather small, but one is large enough for me to fit my tongue in), as well as a misplaced bicuspid next to the gapped...
