Overjet vs Overbite. These two orthodontic terms are used to describe incisor relationship and are often confused by both patients, parents and sometimes general dental practitioners. Overjet is the measurement (usually in millimetres) between the upper incisal edge and the labial surface of the lower incisors. The normal value is considered to be approximately 2-3 mm but this is increased in Class 2 Division 1 malocclusions and reduced in Class 3 malocclusions.
Overbite and overjet correction is possible with Invisalign. Many people use the term overbite interchangeably to mean both the vertical discrepency of overbite and the horzontal discrepency of overjet. In orthodontics, it has the meaning of the former.
