Also in the given example, it would be great if the horizontal spacing was also preserved, i.e. when the overbrace comes the space between x and y increases. Is there a way by which one can account for all this in the first overlay without displaying the overbrace?
Use appropriate \(v/h)phantoms. See a latex manual. The mathmode document by Herbert Voss (see ctan) also provides nice examples of this.
Thanks \vphantom was exactly what I needed.
