Will fixing my overbite get rid of my double chin?

Does an overbite make your chin bigger?

With orthodontic treatment the jaw’s position changes because the chin comes forward and the face looks longer and narrower.

Can overbite mess up jawline?

An overbite refers to when the top front teeth overlap the bottom front teeth. This can cause the lower jaw to be positioned too far back, causing a weak jawline.

Does an overbite make your chin look smaller?

Why am I skinny but I have a double chin?

How long does it take to correct overbite?

Although the length of your overbite treatment will vary, it will usually take up to two years to completely correct an overbite. In general, it will take us longer to fix a severe overbite.
