Deep bite management focuses on correcting excessive overbite to restore proper function, esthetics, and occlusal stability. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, patient age, and severity.
Key approaches include growth modification in children using bite planes or functional appliances, orthodontic correction in adolescents and adults through incisor intrusion, posterior extrusion, or TAD-supported mechanics, and orthognathic surgery for severe skeletal deep bite. In cases with tooth wear, restorative or prosthodontic treatment may be required to re-establish vertical dimension.
Long-term success relies on proper retention, occlusal stability, and control of parafunctional habits.
