Struggling with Deep Bite?

When the upper teeth overlap the lower arch beyond 4mm, it is classified as a deep bite. This type of misalignment not only impacts your facial appearance but could also cause oral health issues, leading to serious complications.

Let’s delve into the problems caused by deep bite teeth in more detail:

Deep Bite Face Change

A deep bite can affect more than your oral health—it can impact how you feel about your appearance:

A visibly unbalanced bite can distort your facial symmetry.

Smile alignment issues may make you feel self-conscious in social or professional settings.

Many people with misalignments avoid smiling fully or showing their teeth in photos.

Bite Problems

In case a deep bite is left untreated, it can cause disrupted jaw function and alignment:

Imbalanced bite forces can strain your jaw joints (TMJ), leading to chronic jaw pain, popping, or clicking sounds.

It can also lead to headaches, muscle fatigue, and difficulty chewing over time.

The improper bite puts uneven pressure on certain teeth, which may lead to tooth mobility or shifting.

Tooth Damage

A deep bite doesn’t just affect how your smile looks—it can cause serious dental health issues over time:

Excessive overlap places pressure on the lower front teeth, often causing them to wear down, chip, or fracture.

The constant contact between upper and lower teeth can damage the enamel, leading to increased sensitivity.

In severe cases, lower teeth may strike the roof of the mouth, leading to gum trauma and recession.

Thankfully, clear aligners offer a solution to these issues. By gradually straightening your teeth, clear aligners can improve your oral hygiene, reduce the risk of dental problems, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile.
