Overbite issue?

Hi all,
We've been noticing that our 10-week old Corso's lower jaw is shorter than the upper jaw, so we looked into it and she appears to have an overbite. Based on these pics, do we have reason for concern or do you think it will correct itself? Would appreciate your thoughts on this and would love to hear about your experiences with overbites.

Thanks in advance,
Ivan

it will get less as the pup grows , the lower jaw grows faster than the top .............good chance that pup will end up scissor or close to it .....

Not to worry, your pup is still growing into himself. In the end he'll have a melon sized head and all the teeth will fit together nicely. My dog didn't grow into her full blocky head until she was over two years old, so give it time. The only time I'd worry is if the back teeth didn't cooperate with the grinding of their food. You'd see this with they chewing just with the front teeth. No...no worries.
