Deep bite or under bite is a clinical situation where the upper teeth completely overlaps lower teeth vertically thus impinging sometimes on the gums in severe cases.These cases if not intervened at the earliest may end up in either loosing the lower or upper front teeth due to constant injury.Prolonged deep bite can cause severe pain in jaw joints in adults.
Treatment depends on what age you are seen by your orthodontist, at a young age its much easier to undertake the treatment as the jaw bones are easier to manage, as you grow older once the jaw bones mature treatment is more complex and time consuming.
Currently we have various options depending on your age to undertake the treatment. Invisalign is always a easier option ,we are able to treat with braces as well.Sometimes we may require an additional support called IZC / TADS for successful results.
