Get braces or play a musical instrument. (I believe it's the clarinet that corrects an over boite (it might be the saxiphone). Check it out . Some instruments correct overbites and others correct underbites. (try Google). I am serious. You have to play/practice regularly.
Good luck.

Many people have a degree of overbite. If you think your is severe, check with your dentist. Many cases can be corrected with orthodontics, but if quite severe, can require orthognathic surgery to correct. In this kind of surgery, the jaws themselves are actually repositioned to correct the tooth postition. If your dentist thinks you are a candidate for this, he or she can refer you to either an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who does this kind of evaluation and surgery.
The University of Texas at San Antonio Dental School has an excellent OMFS department.
This is pretty big surgery and should be approached with some caution. Be sure only a well recognized experienced surgeon is considered.

It's not a big deal. I have braces and I had to get rubber bands to take care of My SLIGHT overbite and, trust me, they're too painful to bother with. I'm also 13 and they hurt like H E double hockey stix.

Ask your parents to take you to the dentist/orthodontist and see if you can get some braces.
