WHAT IS DEEP BITE
Understanding
deep bite
Deep bite can develop from genetic factors such as excessive growth of upper front teeth, and from environmental factors such as growth disorders of the lower jaw or harmful habits during development.
Environmental factors can mostly be treated with orthodontics alone. Even cases diagnosed for surgical correction due to genetic factors can be treated with non-surgical correction at Eins Dental, unless the condition is severe.
