Understanding Overbite and Overjet

Dr. B explains the differences between overbite and overjet, two dental terms often used interchangeably. An overbite refers to how much the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth, while an overjet describes how far forward the upper teeth are compared to the lower teeth. The video clarifies these concepts with examples and discusses ideal measurements for healthy teeth alignment.
