Your overbite is most likely caused by either crowding, heriditary problems, or a jaw misalignment. It sounds like you have crowding or jaw problems. If it's severe, and I mean you can put a finger or two between your teeth without brackets severe, then you will get headgear. Since rubber bands won't help, I'm sorry hun, but that's life. Life can be merciful though. There are two options if you want to not wear your head gear in public.
First, you can get an overhaul surgery of your mouth. If you're really unhappy with your mouth, this is a really good option. It's costly, but mostly worth it. It'll work wonders no braces, retainers or headgear can do. Your teeth and jaw with be perfect for years, and it adds a few years to your teeth retaining, if your teeth fall our because of that. It will feel unnatural and hurt a bit the next month, but wow, is it amazing!
If you think that's a bit too serious for your problem, you can choose to wear headgear only during the night and weekends. You'll probably wear it twice as long, but maybe it's worth it to you. It depends.
Oh wait! Me and my mumbo jumbo mouth! I haven't told you what headgear is! It's a device that is connected to a band around your head or neck, and some metal wires clinch around some teeth to straighten them.
