TMJ, Jaw Surgery & Airway
An overbite is rarely only about appearance.
Bite imbalance can bring chewing difficulty, uneven wear, jaw strain and changes in facial proportion.

Assess the Bite. Reposition the Jaws. Restore the Balance.
More Than Appearance
An overbite can affect more than appearance alone. In some patients, significant bite imbalance can contribute to functional concerns such as chewing difficulty, uneven wear on teeth, jaw strain, and changes in facial proportion. At South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, overbite correction is carefully evaluated in the context of the overall bite, jaw structure, and facial balance.
When Orthodontics Is Not Enough
When the upper jaw and lower jaw do not relate ideally to one another, orthodontic treatment alone may not always be enough to fully correct the issue. In more severe or structural cases, surgical correction may be recommended to reposition the jaws and improve both form and function.
Imaged and Coordinated
Treatment planning begins with advanced imaging, clinical evaluation, and coordination with orthodontic providers when needed. Our goal is to understand how the bite, jaws, and facial structure work together so that we can create a treatment plan designed for long-term improvement.
Function and Facial Harmony
Correcting an overbite can enhance bite function, facial harmony, and overall oral stability. At South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery, we take a highly individualized approach to these cases, with a focus on precision, comfort, and meaningful results.
