Are your molars supposed to touch?

[Taylorswift]

I have a very slight overbite and i jut my jaw forward so that my teeth overlap less than usual and that makes my molars separate. What is normal...molars touching or separated?

Mine touch but I also have a slight overbite. They do not touch when I jut foward

Did you jut your jaw forward slightly when you were mewing?

Touching so mandible follows maxilla

Press your molars together firmly and slowly, you should notice your mandible if shifted forward to make proper occlusion

I think you made a typo cause this makes no sense

I make them touch during day and night i cant

That’s weird because my side profile looks more or less like this (except for longer midface and no chin projection). I have a maxilla that is forward grown as hell but somehow I still have an overbite.

Just go to a mirror at a 3/4 angle and try it and pay attention to your lower k9 position

I pressed my molars firmly together and it took me back to my regular overbite.

You might have an overjet not overbite

Pretty sure I don’t. I think I just have a really fucked up facial development of downwards growth but with forward grown maxilla.

If you have a class ii molar relationship when you bite down you should feel your lower molars slide forwards from the inwards ramp of your tooth geometry
