Overbite Correction Manhattan Families Have Trusted Since 1974
An overbite happens when the upper front teeth overlap too far over the lower teeth. Mild overlap is normal — but a deep overbite affects chewing, tooth wear, and long-term oral health. For expert overbite correction, Manhattan patients have turned to Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics for over 50 years.
Most cases never need surgery. Using Invisalign® clear aligners and advanced braces, we deliver the non surgical overbite treatment NYC parents and professionals prefer — discreet, comfortable, and precisely planned.
Understanding Overbite Correction: Manhattan’s Diagnostic-First Approach
An overbite is the vertical overlap of the upper front teeth. When excessive, it puts uneven pressure on teeth and strains the jaw.
Common signs include worn front teeth, jaw discomfort, or lower teeth biting into the roof of the mouth. Left untreated, a deep bite tends to worsen, which is why deep bite treatment NYC orthodontists recommend often starts with an early evaluation.
Our orthodontists use 3D digital imaging to map exactly how your bite fits together before recommending anything.
Key Benefits
- Improved Bite Function: Align upper and lower teeth properly
- Reduced Tooth Wear: Prevent excessive pressure on certain teeth

Non-Surgical Overbite Treatment NYC Patients Prefer
The right approach depends on severity, age, and jaw position. From subtle deep bites to plans that fix severe overbite New York patients assumed would require surgery, every recommendation starts with careful evaluation.
STEP 1
Orthodontic Consultation
During your consultation, our orthodontists evaluate bite alignment, tooth position, and jaw relationships to understand the cause of the overbite.
STEP 2
Digital Imaging and Diagnosis
Advanced 3D imaging shows exactly how we’ll approach your bite, and even the most complex cases are planned with the same precision.
STEP 3
Orthodontic Treatment
Treatment may involve Invisalign aligners or braces to gradually reposition teeth and correct bite alignment.
STEP 4
Retention and Long-Term Stability
After treatment, retainers help maintain proper alignment and protect your improved bite.
