is that still considered an overbite? I had a lower jaw surgery a year ago because of my overbite (9mm). (Photos)

Question

I removed my braces 6 months ago, my teeth got better but I'm still not 100% happy with how my front teeth are a bit too forward.. I feel my upper lip is too forward as well and I don't like how my upper teeth feel against my lower lip when my jaws clenched can this be fixed? by braces or invisaligns?

HI There, Unfortunately it is hard to determine the exact amount of protrusion you experience.   I would go back to your dentist and tell her/him of your experience with your teeth and your smile.  Discuss with them the options of how to fix it.  Braces back on or Invisalign?  Here we would use Invisalign with a little side expansion so those front teeth could come in a bit. The enclosed before and after link shows you that expansion can occur on the upper to make room for the proper placement of teeth.
