Answer:
hmmmm.. that seems odd to me. maybe he meant that you have an underbite (lower jaw protrudes) and need to lessen that

Answer:
There are so many reasons you can get braces besides an overbite. If you teeth are too crowded, if you’ve gaps, if you bite is off, if you’re getting migraine headaches.

I had two teeth that we a little crowded and I got braces. Many people wouldn’t but you’ve your teeth forever (hopefully).

Answer:
There are many reasons people need braces. Your teeth are probably misaligned on each other, with spaces, turned in/out teeth, and they need to be straightened. Most children nowadays go through braces so its become a fact of life… welcome to the club!

Answer:
my dentist said that you should have an overbite. but if not having an overbite is the only problem, it's ok if you don't want to get braces. not having an overbite isn't anything huge.

Answer:
you also get braces if your teeth are spaced out
