Not really, if its an extreme overjet that means recessed mandible

Wait how can overbite not be recessed maxilla?

Because your maxilla is the one thats forward and your mandible is lacking behind (recessed)

you can have a recessed maxilla with an underbite it just means your mandible is more recessed
