Braces are a solution to help straighten and adjust teeth to the correct position on the jaw. Unaesthetically protruding teeth can be corrected with braces. However, many people wonder if overbite braces at home are effective?
What are overbite braces?
Overbite braces is a technique to restore misaligned teeth to the correct position on the jaw to help improve the aesthetics and balance of the face. The doctor will use a set of appliances including a set of braces along with a system of elastic bands or transparent braces to apply force to straighten the teeth to their original position. Currently there are many braces methods: metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, transparent braces. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the tooth condition and the doctor will advise on the appropriate method.
Is it possible to get buck teeth braces at home?
Braces is a popular technique, but it is not possible to straighten overbite at home because it will have many effects on oral health. For braces, braces are a fixed braces method, from examination or removing braces, adjusting elastic bands, must be done by a skilled and experienced doctor. As for clear braces, after examination and instructions from the doctor, you can change the braces at home through each orthodontic stage.

Are braces at home really effective?
braces at home not only does not bring results in overcoming overbite but also causesso many serious consequences:
- Prolonged tooth pain and sensitivity: due to using tools of poor quality and uneven traction, uneven force is applied to the teeth, making the braces process unstable. The teeth may initially move but then return to their original position, causing lasting pain and sensitivity.
- Teeth are more misaligned than before: Improper home braces techniques will control the force so much that it can cause teeth to move in the wrong direction. This leads to teeth becoming more and more misaligned and crooked.
- Loose teeth, reduced chewing function: Using home braces can damage the soft tissues and bone tissue around the teeth. This makes teeth weak, loose and prone to breakage. Not only does it affect the chewing function, but it also affects the digestive system.
- Causes pulpitis and pulp death: Not only does it weaken teeth, but braces at home also cause serious complications such as infection and pulpitis. It can even be seriously affected when the tooth is pulled or moved suddenly, causing blood vessels to break, leading to death of the pulp.
- Bone and bite deviations: if home braces are applied to people in their teens, the level of deviation will be more serious. Because the jaw bone is still in the development stage at this time, moving teeth without proper technique will lead to bone and bite deviations.
- Infection of the gum area: Teeth that are moved incorrectly can damage the blood vessels around the teeth, causing the gums to be under heavy pressure, causing inflammation of the gum area. In cases where using elastic bands can cause them to slide up the tooth roots, encroaching on the gums, cutting off the blood supply.
- Causes infection: When performing braces at home, sterile conditions cannot be guaranteed, especially tools, hands, etc. When not thoroughly disinfected and performed on teeth, bacteria can easily penetrate, causing gum infection and harm to health.
Therefore, people should note that they should not perform braces at home without a prescription from a specialist. Due to many potential risks.

It can automatically open and close to fix the archwire in the sliding groove, thus making it more stable, limiting the situation of braces coming apart, and also reducing friction that causes discomfort when wearing braces.
