Understanding Overbite and Overjet Concepts

Dr. Bailey, a board-certified orthodontist, explains the difference between overbite and overjet. Overbite is the vertical overlap of the top and bottom front teeth, ideally 10-15%. Overjet is the front-back distance between the top and bottom teeth, ideally 2-3 mm. Factors like tooth size and snow shovel incisors can affect these measurements. The video concludes with a call to action.
