I had a bad overbite a few years ago and
that was fixed with wearing braces for
about two years. I guess it's about three
years later since I have had the braces
taken off. I am fearing that my overbite
is coming back. Is that even possible?
If so, is there a way to correct it
without braces again? Thanks. :)

Hey there.Yes,your overbite can
relapse(come back) if you do not wear you
retainers.I do not think some
orthodontists stress this enough,and as a
result, many people stop wearing them or
do not wear them enough.Sorry,but there is
no way to correct your overbite without
some type of orthodontia.There is
invisalign now,but it is dependant on you
being 100% responsible for wearing the
appliances.Hope that was helpful,even if
it wasn't very good news for you.Good
luck.
