I had my overbite fixed during my early orthodontic treatment but it relapsed.

I am looking into treating my overbite with orthotropics. Does anyone have a suggestion, or experience with overbite treatment?

Overbite doesn't say much. How is your maxillary and mandibular skeletal positioning? Photo?

Why do you say that?

Because the facial upswing will cause clockwise rotation of the mandible, which makes the overbite less pronounced
