How severe is my overbite? And how can I correct it / Should I correct it

I never actually noticed how fucking atrocious it looks tbh. It fucks with my lower third massively too. When I position my teeth in a normally aligned position, I look fine. But when I bite down I literally look more subhuman than normal. Is there any corrective measure for this? I don’t know much about orthodontics, so forgive me for my obliviousness. And please let me know if the procedure has any drawbacks

pretty noticable
correct it with jaw surgery if you're prepared for the recovery

So it’s something a retainer or braces can’t fix???

ask an orthodontist, it can probably help it but that's just camouflage orthodontics
meaning you're not fixing the root cause of the overbite (misaligned jaws)
