I’m 15 and have a slight overbite and want to fix that through ortho. I was thinking eother tein bite blocks or a herbst appliance (if I get approved) but I don’t know how much of a significant effect that would have. So I want you guys to lmk your thoughts. Thank you

My dentist is so clueless tho and won’t refer me to an orthodontics as I have told him my problems and he has said everybody has an overbite and then regarding my mouth breathing and narrow palate he said a narrow palate would actually make it harder to mouth breathe. (He’s like 70)
