Can I get lingual braces with an overbite?

Q.
What type of bite do you have to have to get lingual braces? Answering this would really help me in choosing which braces I can get for my problem. I want to get invisible braces but i think my bite might stop me, I consider myself to have a slight over bite and someone said that I’d knock the brackets off, is this true? Please give me some advice because Iam really confused, thanks for your help
A.
Lingual braces can treat a variety of different bites and will generally move your bite out of the way whilst your teeth align. If you have a slight overbite this should not be in an issue. I would however highly recommend that you have an orthodontic consultation with a specialist orthodontist to establish your options. You will be amazed at how many different braces are now available ranging from the visible options to the completely invisible options!
