DEEP BITE
Deep Bite Correction with Clear Aligners*
If your upper front teeth excessively overlap the bottom front teeth when your mouth is closed, you may have a deep bite.1 It is also known as severe overbite.
Causes of a Deep Bite
Most deep bites are caused by a small lower jaw. Other causes of deep bites include missing back teeth due to decay or trauma. If you’re a grinder or a clencher, you can make your deep bite worse.
Side Effects of Deep Bites
Since your teeth don’t come together correctly, crowded and worn bottom teeth are common among deep biters. You may also suffer from jaw disorders such as TMD, tooth loss, gum recession, periodontal disease, ulcers, and sores in your mouth.1
Treatment for Deep Bite Correction
If you’re looking for a noninvasive deep bite treatment, Spark Aligners may be right for you.* The first step towards deep bite correction is realigning all of your shifting teeth back into place. Once this step is complete, additional dental treatments may be required to fix the root of the problem and stabilise the complete orthodontic aligner treatment.
