How to correct deep overbite of teeth

Tooth overjet is a common clinical problem. It is mainly a malocclusion. Tooth overjet greatly affects the appearance of teeth and even has a certain impact on people's daily life. Therefore, we must pay attention to the situation of deep tooth overburden and take timely treatment measures. There are many ways to correct deep tooth overburden, and it also depends on the severity. So how to correct deep tooth overburden?

1. Deep overbite of teeth

Deep overbite refers to the horizontal distance from the incisal tip of the upper front teeth to the labial surface of the lower front teeth exceeding 3mm. It is a common malocclusion. The molar relationship is mostly distal, and is often accompanied by deep overbite of the anterior teeth. It is a typical Angle Class II malocclusion. Deep overjet of the front teeth has a serious impact on the function of the oral cavity, facial aesthetics, and the patient's mental health, and requires timely treatment. Deep overjet of anterior teeth can be divided into three categories according to the different etiologies, namely tooth type, functional type and lone star type, and the correction methods for different types are also different.

2. Orthodontic correction

It mainly targets relatively simple tooth types and functional deep overjet of front teeth. These two types are mostly formed during the growth of permanent teeth. Generally, there is no obvious incoordination between the upper and lower jaws and the craniomaxillofacial region. Even the mandible with functional deep overjet can automatically protrude forward to the medium molar relationship, which can be corrected by simply wearing braces.

3. Surgery

Deep overjet of skeletal anterior teeth is mainly caused by abnormal jaw development, which exceeds the range of orthodontic correction and requires surgical correction. There is also a minimally invasive oral surgery specifically designed to address alveolar bone deformities in adults, which involves moving a small bone flap 5mm away from the apex of the tooth root. Hou Zhenjie's orthodontic surgery uses painless anesthesia combined with a minimally invasive bone knife to perform minimally invasive corrections in the patient's mouth. This not only protects the patient's oral structure to the greatest extent and has high precision, but also causes little trauma during treatment, quick recovery, and no rebound after surgery. After surgery, the teeth can be straight and natural.
