Yes, you do not have the 'textbook' arrangement of your teeth as far as overbite- however the position of your upper teeth should NOT be brought in any more than they are currently. Most people do not have 'textbook' tooth relations. If you were to bring your upper teeth back closer...
In most cases, gaps can be closed predictably by moving the teeth either inwards or sideways towards each other....or a combination of both. It all depends on your situation. There are a few of reasons why a gap may not close. For example: 1) the overjet is too tight or 2) a tooth is ankylos...
