Overbites are caused by poor nutrition & poor myofunctional habits (99% nutrition) so what do you think?

It definitely wouldn't help your jaw developmentally & aesthetically that is for sure.

No, it doesn’t affect growth and development much during puberty. If you’re young, get an orthodontic appliance to correct it asap. It depends on whether it’s an overbite or overjet though, there’s a difference. A forsus or herbst appliance could work for an overjet but wouldn’t help an overbite, and could even result in an underbite lol

Now if you’re older, like 17-18, it’s kinda over unless you get surgery
