My dad refuses to bring me to the dentist because he said that after he goes ill go but he keeps putting his appointment off (procrastinator). Anyways, im fed up with my overbite! and I was wondering is there like something you can do to get rid of it without going to the dentist or spending $$ ?

No there is nothing practical that you can do without an orthodontist.

The best thing I can come up with is to keep adjusting your jaw yourself. Some people simply hae an overbite from the way they hold their jaw, which can probably be changed with time. However, if it's more of a genetic thing, nothing can help that except for the dentist.

no matter what you do I would suggest you wait to get your teeth fixed until after your wisdom teeth have come in or are removed. Most people i know who had braces in high or middle school had all the work ruined by their wisdom teeth.
If you parents can't afford to get your teeth straightened you are just going to have to deal with it. It is very very expensive. If they can't afford it then you should study hard so you can make enough money to fix them when you are older.

NO THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. SPEAK WITH YOUR FATHER AND EXPLAIN THAT THIS OVERBITE REALLY MATTERS TO YOU.
