Beschreibung
Deep bite is one of the most common malocclusion seen in children as well as adults that can occur along with other associated malocclusions. It is said to be one of the most deleterious malocclusion when considered from the viewpoint of the future health of the masticatory apparatus and the dental units. The excessive overbite is a complex orthodontic problem that may involve group of teeth or whole dentition, alveolar bone, mandible and maxilla and / or soft tissues of the face. Overbite can be described in millimeter measurement or as percentage of overlap of the mandibular incisors by the maxillary incisors. The later method of description is preferred because of the variation in the size of the mandibular incisors. Depth of the bite must be related to the health of the soft tissue and supporting structures, temporomandibular joint function and effect of future skeletal growth on these factors. The correction of deep bite is one of the primary objectives of orthodontic treatment. Deep bite has been considered one of the most common malocclusion and the most difficult to treat successfully.
