Does chewing work if you have overbite?

Legit question.

define "work"

Youll build masseters but you should probably get bsso if you have an underbite

define "work"

does it increase your masseter size I mean.

It's really minor and it doesnt even look that bad, I don't really want to spend a year in braces just because of a 1/2mm deficiency.

how exactly do your teeth align.

When I put my front teeth together my molars don't line up well in terms of length.
I'd say that my lower jaw is recessed by about 1 or 2 mm. I am considering an overbite correction but the thought of spending 2/3 months of uni with braces kills me tbh.

yea

Why wouldn't it? What has an overbite to do with masseter growth potential?
