I’ve figured out how to fix an underbite with an appliance, now I am trying to learn how to fix an overbite. What appliance would be used to fix an overbite.

When I was younger around 2nd grade the orthodontist gave me a retainer to fix my underbite.Usually what they would do was to pull back the lower jaw or inhibit lower jaw growth and have a appliance pull the upper jaw. We were about to do this but instead went with just pushing my upper jaw, looking back at my old photos i had a horrible side profile.

Retainers looked like this
