An excessive vertical overlap of the upper front teeth over the lower front teeth is a common dental condition. Strategies to address this condition without relying on orthodontic appliances or surgical interventions are of interest to some individuals. This approach often involves exercises targeting jaw muscle strengthening and posture correction aimed at potentially mitigating the severity of the misalignment.
The potential benefits of these methods include improved jaw function, reduced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, and enhanced facial aesthetics. Historically, approaches to correcting malocclusion have primarily focused on mechanical interventions. However, the growing interest in holistic health and wellness has led to exploration of complementary and alternative strategies.
