Smile direct club overjet before and after

Overjet is the horizontal distance between upper and lower front teeth; changes depend on the diagnosed bite and treatment.

Overjet describes front-to-back projection, unlike overbite, which describes vertical overlap. It may involve tooth position, crowding, the lower jaw, or several factors.

An orthodontic assessment may include photographs, scans, impressions, and radiographs before selecting braces or aligners.

Have the bite assessed before relying on photographs, especially if teeth are traumatised or chewing, speech, or jaw function is affected.

Ask whether the overjet is dental, skeletal, or both, how movement and retention will be planned, and how the result will be checked.
