Find out what causes overjet and how to correct buck teeth without braces
What are buck teeth?
Overjet, also commonly referred to as buck or bunny teeth, occurs when the upper teeth project forward. It differs to an overbite, which is when there is a vertical overlap of your top teeth. In comparison, overjet refers to the horizontal distance between the upper front two incisors and their lower counterparts.
How to fix buck teeth in adults
If you're fed up with feeling like there isn't a way to fix front teeth that protrude, you haven't visited the specialists at Impress yet.
Orthognathic surgery
Surgery to fix overjet is usually performed in significant cases where there is a 6mm gap or more. The surgery is invasive, typically requiring a dental device prior to and following surgery.
Traditional braces
Traditional braces or dental appliances may be recommended in certain cases, but they take longer to rectify the protrusion and are visibly noticeable and potentially add to the exentuation of the teeth that stick out.
Clear aligners
Clear aligners gently guide teeth back into alignment, closing the gap between top and bottom. They’re discreet, removable, effective and suitable for mild to moderate cases of overjet and many other types of malocclusions.
