What is an underbite and overbite?

How can you fix it?

Answers:
over is when the teeth on top are further out. Underbite is when the teeth on top are on the inside of the teeth.

An orthodontist can fix this by applying a device. maybe wires and springs, which puts constant pressure on the teeth, and they move within the jaws. Bone dissolves in front of them and reforms behind.

Underbite is when the lower teeth (jaw section) protrude beyond the upper section. Overbite is when the upper teeth (under nose area) protrude beyond the lower teeth. Both situations can be fixed by braces (and may require headgear to be worn along with the braces) to correct the jaw alignment. Proper alignment is when the upper teeth are close to the lower teeth without the two sections hitting each other.
