Help with overbite.

Hello to all dentistry students here, I'm posting this as I am getting desperate because of this problem and I hope there is someone out there who can actually help me. I recently realised I'm affected by the condition called overbite as when my mouthing is resting, my top incisors overlap the bottom ones (photo included). When I bring the jaw forward with my jaw muscles, the top and bottom incisors touch each other but all the of other teeth don't and this movement also creates a massive gap between the top and bottom molars. Do you think I'm right to think I'm affected by the condition called overbite or there is something else wrong with my mouth/teeth?
I doubt dentistry students know what to do tbh
Ask your dentist. As I understand it 2 _ 3 mm is considered mormal

I will do when I go to see her but there is a quite long waiting list so I was doing some online researches to find out if I'm truly affected by the "overbite". I did a rough measurement of the gap and it nearly goes to 1 cm (I'm not too sure if I did it right or not).
