What is a Deep Bite?
A deep bite is a Malocclusion in which the mandibular incisor crowns are excessively overlapped vertically by the maxillary incisors when the teeth are in centric occlusion. Unfavourable sequel of this malocclusion predisposes a patient to
- periodontal involvement
- abnormal function
- improper mastication
- excessive stresses
- Trauma
- functional problems
- bruxism
- clenching
Temporomandibular joint disturbance makes geriatric dental service a losing battle unless overbite can be controlled.
It is widely accepted that correction of deep bite is both easier to accomplish and more stable when it is performed on growing patients than when it is attempted on those with no appreciable growth remaining.
Adults often need only correction of excessive overbite either due to its isolated nature or demand for limited treatment. In adults, this treatment is often part of periodontal, restorative, and/or temporomandibular joint therapy. A deep overbite can be corrected in many ways like the intrusion of anterior extrusion of posteriors, a combination of anterior intrusion and posterior extrusion, proclinating anterior or surgically. However, it should be decided which method will be more beneficial or which will improve the patient’s facial appearance and functional efficacy.
So, with all these combinations and the guidance of The Dental Roots’ experts, the treatment can go smoothly and be absolutely painless as well.
