Our multidisciplinary team can address underlying gum disease or bone issues that often complicate overbite cases, ensuring stable, long lasting results. We provide clear treatment timelines, detailed progress monitoring, and coordinate with our prosthodontics expertise if you need additional restorative work. With CQC registration and adherence to BDA and GDC standards, you receive specialist level orthodontic care that addresses your overbite thoroughly whilst maintaining the highest safety and quality standards in British dentistry.
An overbite occurs when your upper front teeth overlap your lower front teeth excessively when you bite down. Normally, upper teeth should slightly overlap the lower ones by about 2-3 millimetres. When this overlap becomes too pronounced, it creates functional and aesthetic concerns that may require professional treatment.
This common dental condition affects how your teeth meet together when you close your mouth. Some overbite is natural. Too much creates problems. The upper teeth may completely cover the lower front teeth, sometimes even touching the gum tissue behind them. This excessive overlap can make biting and chewing less efficient, potentially cause jaw discomfort, and affect your smile's appearance.
You should seek treatment if your overbite causes difficulty eating certain foods, affects your speech clarity, or makes you feel self-conscious about your smile. Pain in your jaw joints, excessive wear on your lower front teeth, or frequent biting of your tongue may also indicate that correction would benefit your oral health. Early intervention often leads to more predictable outcomes and may prevent additional complications from developing over time.
At London Dental Specialists, Dr. Kia Papagalani, our Specialist in Orthodontics, treats overbite conditions using modern techniques tailored to each patient's specific needs. Our Central London practice serves patients throughout the greater London area with expert care that addresses both the functional and aesthetic aspects of bite correction.

An overbite occurs when your upper front teeth overlap your lower front teeth more than they should. Some overlap is normal. But when it's excessive, it can cause problems. You might notice your upper teeth covering too much of your lower teeth when you bite down. Sometimes people can't see their lower teeth at all when smiling. Other signs include difficulty biting into food properly or your lower teeth touching the roof of your mouth. Our specialists at London Dental Specialists can assess your bite during a comprehensive examination using advanced imaging techniques to determine if treatment is needed.
Modern overbite treatment is much more comfortable than you might expect. We use effective local anaesthesia during any procedures to ensure you feel no pain. For anxious patients, we offer sedation dentistry to help you relax completely. Most treatments involve gradual, gentle movement of teeth, which may cause mild discomfort initially but nothing severe. Think of it like the feeling after a good workout. Our team provides detailed pain management guidance and appropriate medications if needed. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the process is. We monitor your comfort throughout treatment and adjust our approach as needed.
Treatment time varies depending on the severity of your overbite and the method we choose. Mild cases might take 12 to 18 months. More complex situations could require 24 to 36 months. The good news is that you'll start seeing improvements within the first few months. Our orthodontic specialist Dr. Kia Papagalani creates personalised treatment plans that balance effectiveness with efficiency. We use advanced techniques that often reduce treatment time compared to traditional methods. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation. Remember, the investment in time leads to a lifetime of benefits.
We offer several effective treatments tailored to your needs and lifestyle. Traditional braces remain highly effective for complex cases. Clear aligners provide a nearly invisible option for many patients. In some cases, we might recommend functional appliances that guide jaw growth, particularly beneficial for younger patients. For severe overbites involving jaw positioning, we work with oral surgeons for comprehensive treatment. Our multidisciplinary team, including specialists in orthodontics and periodontics, collaborates to ensure the best outcome. We'll discuss all suitable options during your consultation, considering factors like your age, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Absolutely, adults can successfully receive overbite treatment at any age. Your teeth can move throughout your life, making correction possible whether you're 25 or 65. Adult treatment has become increasingly popular, with many of our patients being working professionals. We offer discreet options like clear aligners that fit seamlessly into adult lifestyles. The main difference is that adult treatment might take slightly longer since bone density increases with age. However, adults often see excellent results because they're motivated and follow treatment instructions carefully. It's never too late to achieve the healthy, confident smile you deserve.
Insurance coverage varies significantly depending on your specific policy and the severity of your overbite. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, particularly when there's a functional need beyond cosmetic improvement. Some medical insurance policies may cover treatment if the overbite causes significant functional problems or jaw issues. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about orthodontic benefits and any age limitations. Our team can help provide the necessary documentation to support your claim. We also offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make treatment accessible regardless of insurance coverage. Don't let insurance concerns prevent you from exploring your options.
Leaving a significant overbite untreated can lead to various problems over time. Your teeth may wear unevenly, potentially requiring expensive restorative work later. Jaw strain can develop, causing headaches, neck pain, or temporomandibular joint disorders. Speech difficulties might persist or worsen. Cleaning your teeth properly becomes more challenging, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. Some people experience confidence issues that affect their personal and professional relationships. The good news is that these problems are preventable with proper treatment. Early intervention is typically easier and more cost effective than addressing complications later. Our specialists can show you exactly what to expect and help you make an informed decision about your oral health.
Whilst overbites rarely constitute true dental emergencies, certain complications may require immediate attention. Severe jaw pain is urgent. Difficulty opening your mouth fully needs prompt care. Trauma affecting your bite requires immediate assessment. If you experience persistent headaches alongside jaw clicking or locking, seek emergency consultation. Sudden changes in your bite pattern after an injury warrant urgent evaluation. Pain when chewing that prevents normal eating should be addressed immediately. Swelling around the jaw joints combined with restricted movement requires prompt professional attention. Our emergency protocols ensure rapid assessment of bite-related complications that may affect your daily function or indicate underlying issues requiring immediate intervention.
