Deep Bite Teeth: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
A deep bite is a condition in which the upper front teeth overlie the lower front teeth by an excessively large margin that is also known as a closed bite. Unless it is addressed in a timely manner, a deep bite can have adverse effects on the functional efficiency of the teeth and the overall oral cavity. Deep bite teeth commonly result from dental crowding, misaligned or curved teeth, jaw discrepancies, and excessive tooth wear. In some individuals, genetic predisposition and improper tooth eruption during developmental stages may also contribute to the development of a deep bite.
Symptoms and Risks
Patients with a deep bite may experience:
Excessive wear of upper and lower teeth
Gum injury behind the upper front teeth
Jaw pain and bite discomfort
Painful ulcers on the roof of the mouth
Difficulty chewing and speaking
If untreated, a deep bite can lead to periodontal damage and long-term bite instability.
