What Is an Overbite?
Whether someone is 13 or 65, an overbite can cause the jaw to recede, affecting facial harmony and self-esteem. In today’s world of social media, video calls, and constant photo-taking, many people find themselves avoiding cameras or hiding their smiles, missing out on fully enjoying life’s precious moments.
Why Modern Overbite Correction Changes Everything
The overbite correction methods available today at Davoody & Hablinski Orthodontics would amaze someone who had braces even a decade ago. Orthodontic treatment has evolved to become faster, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever before.
Revolutionary Changes Include:
- Treatment times reduced by 30-40% using advanced techniques
- Clear aligners that can handle complex cases once requiring traditional braces
- Digital planning that shows results before treatment begins
- Accelerated options that can complete correction in 6-12 months
- Age-appropriate treatment plans for teens, adults, and seniors
The days of “one-size-fits-all” orthodontics are over. Whether treating a self-conscious teenager, a busy parent, or an active retiree, Dr. Davoody customizes every overbite correction plan to fit each patient’s unique lifestyle and goals.
The Real Impact of Living with an Untreated Overbite
Houston families often postpone overbite correction, thinking it’s purely cosmetic or that they’ve “waited too long.” But untreated overbites create consequences that compound over time, affecting people differently at various life stages.
For Teenagers:
- Social anxiety and reduced confidence during crucial developmental years
- Difficulty with certain sounds affecting speech and communication
- Increased risk of dental injuries during sports activities
- Potential for bullying or teasing about appearance
For Adults:
- Professional limitations due to reduced confidence in social situations
- Chronic headaches and jaw pain affecting daily productivity
- Difficulty eating certain foods properly
- Premature tooth wear requiring expensive future dental work
For Seniors:
- Accelerated tooth loss due to improper bite alignment
- Increased difficulty chewing, affecting nutrition and health
- Speech changes that can impact social connections
- Facial structure changes that affect overall appearance
