Could you go into more detail?
You're likely gonna need cephalometric x-rays, 3d/cone beam ct scans, and a clinical exam/bite analysis by a dentist or orthodontist.

Ceph x-rays wil show the side-view of the skull,jaw,and teeth alignment so it can

measure overbite severity in mm

reveal the actual positition of your jaw and the angle of your teeth

Figure out whether your overbite is dental or skeletal.

CBCT scan will show sinus,bone density,and airway obstruction

Basically everything you need if surgery is the ideal route so your surgeon can be as precise as possible

The exam by the practioner at the end will help check/confirm deep bites, cross bites, open bites.

They can also focus on the function like the actual jaw movement, wear on teeth, TMJ, etc.

After all these assessments are done then you'll be told whether mild dental work like braces/invisalign, moderate dental work like braces with rubber bands, severe dental work like extractions and braces, or extreme skeletal remodeling like braces+run of the mill jaw surgery (lefort bsso or both) is needed

Also make sure you proofread/vet out a good clinic unfortunately not all "trained" professionals are actually that great at their job and this shit costs a lot so it's best to get the most bang for your buck

all you need to do is

> speak to orthodontist, ask chatgpt to find the cheapest one in ur area if money is a problem, if it's not asking chatgpt to find the most highly rated ortho

> then get braces or jaw surgery the ortho will help discuss best route and examine ur teeth and canonical development

Yeah basically just be a little careful with "cheap" the medical world has little to no morals they will milk you even for shitty quality if they can
