It depends, you need a comprehensive examination to understand your case.
Orthodontics is the best way to fix an overbite, either with fixed braces or removable aligners such as Invisalign
Orthodontic treatment is the only way to fix an overbite.

Consult with an orthodontist. This question is too difficult to answer without seeing the patient, but there are ways to correct it.
Ask the Orthodontist.
The way to fix an overbite is with orthodontic treatment. You can do traditional braces with brackets or you may be suitable for Invisalign. I would start by visiting your dentist and asking for a referral to an orthodontist or your dentist may offer Invisalign in his or her office and will examine you to see if you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
The only option to fix an overbite is to get braces or Invisalign retainers.
