Can my overbite be corrected with braces alone? (Photo)

Question

I'm considering Damon braces. 30 years old. Would that be enough to correct the overbite or some additional treatment is required? Photos attached. Ty

Without xrays and a full intraoral examination, it can be hard to say with 100% certainty, but based on the photos you have provided, you can absolutely get your overbite corrected with just braces! You would definitely need to wear rubberbands in conjunction with your braces to help pull the lower teeth forward. You have the benefit of having a nice chin, so I don't think you'd need jaw surgery to move your lower jaw forward. Everything should be able to be corrected non-surgically. You do have a narrow arch, so the Damon braces would do an excellent job broadening it and giving you a beautiful wide smile. If you want to go the extra mile after your orthodontic treatment, you may want to consider getting veneers or dental bonding on your upper lateral incisors. Proportionally, they are slightly on the smaller side relative to your central incisors, so making them a little larger will give you the optimal balance and harmony with your smile.
