Is it parrot mouth or is the lower jaw too long? I think that I may have misread this post at first. If it is the upper jaw that is too long, we have had that correct only once. However, the jaw was not overshot when the teeth first came in. He was scissors at 4 weeks, slightly overshot at 6 weeks and back to scissors at 8 weeks so I don't think that he fit the parrot mouth criteria. Except for him, I have never had an overshot bite correct, usually they just get worse.
