Deep Bite

Uncover the Secret of a Deep Bite and Find out How it Affects Your Oral Health

deep bite

A deep bite is a condition that occurs when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too much when the mouth is closed. This causes the lower front teeth to be blocked from view and the lower jaw to be pushed back, resulting in a deeper-than-normal bite. Deep bites can cause many issues, both aesthetically and health-wise, so taking preventive measures and getting treatment as soon as possible is essential.

The best way to avoid a deep bite is to practice good dental hygiene and visit an orthodontist immediately.

Understand the Difference between a Deep Bite and an Overbite

A deep bite is when the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth too much. It can be a hereditary condition caused by grinding or clenching teeth, poor development in jaw structure, or a combination of any of these factors. An overbite, or an excessive vertical overlap, occurs when the top teeth are over the bottom teeth. This type of bite can occur due to an irregular bite, or it can be caused by the improper eruption of teeth in the mouth. Both deep bite and overbite can lead to problems with breathing, eating, tooth decay, and gum problems. Fortunately, Orthodontic Experts offer an extensive range of budget-friendly treatment options to restore a proper bite.

frequently asked questions

Can a deep bite cause sleep apnea?

Yes! A deep bite can put pressure on the throat, which can lead to insufficient airway space and risk of developing sleep apnea. People with a deep bite have difficulty breathing during sleep and snore, both of which are symptoms of sleep apnea. If you have a deep bite, consult our orthodontists at Orthodontic Expert about the best treatment options for you.

How long does a deep bite take to correct?

The length of time needed to fix a deep bite greatly varies depending on your unique case. However, most people generally take anywhere between 1 to 3 years to get rid of the deep bite. During this time frame, orthodontic treatment may involve braces, retainers and various other appliances to bring the bite into proper alignment.

Does deep bite correction change face?

Yes! Deep bite treatment often helps improve the overall appearance of an individual’s facial structures and mouth. This is because the deep bite can cause the lower jaw and face to remain in an unnatural position. By correcting the deep bite, your jaw and face moves into their proper position, hence enhancing the facial structure.

Can a deep bite come back after orthodontic treatment?

Although correcting a deep bite can take a long time, the results are worth it and need to be maintained. One way to ensure that your deep bite does not come back is to wear a retainer as prescribed by your orthodontist. Additionally, you should practice proper oral hygiene to keep your teeth and jaw in shape. If a deep bite relapses, our team of orthodontists is here to provide the right treatment to ensure that you get your smile back.
