overjet is the horizontal distance between the upper front teeth and the lower front teeth when the back teeth are together. It describes how far the upper incisors sit in front of the lower incisors. Clinicians use overjet as a standard measurement in orthodontics, restorative planning, and bite (occlusion) assessment. It is recorded during dental exams to document tooth position and how it changes over time.
