The horizontal overlap or how f... 2009-07-04 http://www.overbite.info/articles/18481/Overjet... Overjet is a measure of how far the top incisor teeth are ahead of the bottom incisors. Normally, the top and bottom front teeth should be touching upon closure leaving no or zero overjet. If the top teeth are ahead by some distance this is referred to as positive overjet.
