Can All-on-6 Dental Implants improve your overbite or make it worse? (Photos)

Question

I received the all on six dental implants and the temporary only made my over bite more noticeable, and the constant feeling like I have buck teeth. Is it impossible to design a permanent denture that would improve my overbite. Because I had this procedure done wearing braces for a third time is no longer an option. Please help I do want to live with bucket teeth again. The dentist I am working with now refuses to see how ugly I look.

Hello. There are some prosthetic solutions such as toronto bridge to decrease this overjet (the more anterior position of upper jaw than lower) It may be as good as possible but it should be taken into consideration that your upper jaw is in a Class II relationship with lower jaw.this can not be totally changed only by implants or prostheses

discuss yr concern with your implant dentist before he/she order final prosthesis, implant position is very important , but it is possible to adjust upto certain limit.

Brian Alan Klaich, DMD · Answer

Your final prosthesis should be able to be designed to improve your overbite.  Your current dentist should be working with you to alter the smile/bite to your satisfaction.
Moving forward, I'd consider a second temporary to help correct the bite and improve cosmetics before moving forward with the final prosthesis.  Consult with a few doctors to help educate yourself and understand you case better.
One other item to consider is your mandibular (lower) teeth, they are currently set in a corrupted and quite possibly pathologic position.  If you are building and "ideal" upper off of a poor lower, your results may be limited by your lower dentition.  The photos are good, but a comprehensive diagnosis cannot truly be given in this format.

Hello,
The overbite can be corrected in permanent denture.  The screwable permanent prosthesis is always the preferred option in All-on-6 or All-on-4 protocol as the teeth can be aligned in the ideal arch form giving perfect profile without any overbite. Even you can get the provisional denture redone with proper bite.  The facilities with in house CAD-CAM supported Dental Lab will be able to provide you the better prosthesis.

Yes all on 4 or all on 6 can improve your overbite or can make it worse.
From the picture it seem like the set up of these teeth are so forward and not matching to your lower natural teeth.
This upper prosthesis has to be remade to have harmony with your lower jaw .
