Just wondering would you be able to have an overbite corrected with braces through the public health system?

If your overbite is severe enough and you are under 16 you may be able to get treatment on the public system. However HSE orthodontics are only for those with really severe bad bites. It is unlikely that you would not have already been assessed if you were severe enough.

Apart from HSE braces, your only option is private. Its not that expensive, about 60-80 euro a month.
