While most people wear braces to fix their teeth, the facial structure can be improved as well. Braces can correct overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

I have an pretty bad overbite and usually stick out your jaw to counteract it. I'm thinking of going for braces But If they push back my teeth will they pull your jaw out as well.I have a weak jaw.?

It depends on how severe your overbite is! If is simple then they will just put braces on your teeth and can take any where from 1year or more. If your overbite is to severe then they may have to move your jaw that is a different surgery altogether...Of course you will tell them that you have a weak jaw and may give you other options.. go see a oral surgeon for your jaw and a orthodontist for your teeth. call first and ask to have a free consultations for braces.
