Hi.. i'm in the same situation as both of you.. overjet, overbite, two extractions on top. The extractions were done about 6 months ago. They are closing very slowly, but i notice it has changed the overjet. So i would think that closing the gaps is what helps reduce the overjet. My overbite has giv...
