How do you know if you should get braces before or after an overbite? It’s one of the most common questions asked by people who are considering getting orthodontic treatment and have an overbite that they want to correct. The short answer is before, because an overbite can actually make it more difficult to get braces off at the end of your treatment if you’re not careful. Here’s why you should get braces before and after overbite, along with some tips on how to make the process as easy as possible.
I Had An Overbite
Even though I didn’t want to get braces, my parents insisted. Luckily, our dentist used a new type of braces called Invisalign that was designed to work gradually on my teeth over time. The doctor gave me a palate expander key so I could stretch out my gums. By wearing it before getting braces, I got used to having something in my mouth all day long and slowly expanded my palate for future dental treatment. As you can see from my before-and-after pictures, after just one year with braces, I had an amazing smile! Now I have a beautiful smile thanks to Invisalign. If you’re thinking about getting braces but are worried about how they will look or feel, consider using Invisalign first. They can even be removed when you go in for your regular checkups!
I Had Braces As A Teenager
Though I never had overbites, my jaw was a tad off-kilter which, as a young boy in puberty, meant that braces were necessary. My orthodontist recommended getting a palate expander key to correct some of my misaligned teeth. Basically, I wore an expandable device around my head while doing exercises to stretch out my palate. Essentially I did chin-ups for ten minutes every day—the key constricted around my head just enough to pull on and realign some of my teeth without any surgery required.
Now I Can Wear Any Necklace I Want To
In spite of what you might think, having a full set of teeth doesn’t mean there aren’t challenges to overcome when it comes to your smile. With so many stylish necklaces out there, most people don’t realize that simply wearing a pendant can be difficult if you have misaligned teeth. However, with Invisalign® clear aligners you can get braces before and after your overbite correction so that you can enjoy wearing any piece from your jewelry box. If you think getting straight teeth is only about aesthetics, remember that bad bites put stress on not just your mouth but also on other parts of your body like muscles, joints, bones and even organs.

How My Teeth Have Changed In The Past Three Years
I got my braces off today. It’s been three years since I first got them on, and two years since I got my palate expander key. I’ve learned a lot in those three years. My teeth were pretty crooked when I first went to see Dr. Dave, but after two or so months of being fitted for braces they looked noticeably straighter… even with my retainer! But then in late 2012, right around Thanksgiving as a matter of fact, my retainer broke (it was made out of flimsy plastic). At that point, it didn’t make much sense to get another one; instead Dr. Dave said it would be best to let my teeth stabilize first before getting another one.
I’m Happy With My Teeth And Smile Now
I had braces when I was 17 years old, but they weren’t covered by my insurance. Back then, I didn’t even know that there were any options outside of just getting braces. Since it wasn’t a guaranteed option for me, I decided not to get them at all. Plus, I never thought it would help anything. Now that my teeth are straight without having had to spend much money on something that probably wouldn’t have helped anyway, I can say for sure that it would have been worth getting them as soon as possible.
My Tips For Other Teens Who Are Considering Having Braces
My first tip for anyone considering braces is to be careful what you eat. There’s nothing worse than spending hundreds of dollars on orthodontics only to have it all go down the drain because you can’t stick to a diet. When I had my braces, I was eating mostly oatmeal, egg whites, yogurt, granola bars and anything else that was relatively soft. (I ate very little hard food). Although people with braces are allowed to eat whatever they want as long as they brush after every meal, it can be tough to avoid crunchy or hard foods if you’re at a party or barbeque and there’s something great-looking next to you on your plate.
