Yes, cosmetic dentistry can help fix an overbite or underbite. While orthodontic treatment is typically the primary approach for correcting bite alignment issues, cosmetic dentistry can also play a role in improving the appearance of the smile in conjunction with orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic treatment, such as braces or clear aligners, can be used to gradually shift the position of the teeth and correct an overbite or underbite. By aligning the teeth and improving the bite, orthodontic treatment can enhance both the function and aesthetics of the smile.

In some cases, cosmetic dental procedures such as dental bonding or dental veneers may be recommended to further improve the appearance of the smile and enhance the results of orthodontic treatment.

It is important to consult with a qualified cosmetic dentist and orthodontist to determine the best treatment plan for correcting an overbite or underbite based on your specific dental needs and goals.
