MANAGEMENT OF DEEP BITE

By Ruchika Batra

0 - Default Title
Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of deep bite malocclusion, a common orthodontic problem which is characterized by excessive vertical overlap of the maxillary and mandibular incisors. It discusses the classification of malocclusion, prevalence, and multifactorial aetiology of deep bite, including skeletal, dentoalveolar, genetic, and environmental factors. It also highlights diagnostic methods which includes clinical examination, study models, cephalometric analysis, and soft-tissue evaluation. Treatment modalities includes non-surgical orthodontic approaches such as incisor intrusion, molar extrusion, or a combination of both, using continuous or segmental mechanics such as utility arches, intrusion arches, bite planes, and mini-screw anchorage. In growing patients, myofunctional appliances like activators, bionators, and twin block appliances help modify growth and correct vertical discrepancies. In severe skeletal deep bite, especially in adults, combined orthodontic and surgical interventions may be required to achieve functional stability, periodontal health, and improved facial aesthetics.
