I think you're using terms you don't understand properly.

Overbite = top front teeth overlap the lower teeth vertically.
Overjet = top teeth stick out too far horizontally.

I hear people saying “overbite” when they actually mean an overjet/Class II bite, which is where the lower jaw or lower teeth sit too far back relative to the upper jaw/teeth.

If they're moving your actual upper jaw bone surgically, that's an orthognathic surgery. Jaw surgery is only used to correct a bite and facial profile when orthodontics alone is insufficient.

Pushing the "Maxilla" back can mean many different things.

Press the checkmark button to the right, mark as solution.
