Deep Bite Images
A deep bite is a frequent problem that affects how your upper and lower teeth align.
A dental misalignment occurs when your upper front teeth protrude too much over your lower front teeth when you close your mouth.
It’s usual to have at least a few millimeters of your bottom front teeth visible. However, a deep bite could be present if your top teeth are more than 4 millimeters longer than your bottom teeth.
If you have a deep bite, you should visit an orthodontic clinic since it can lead to more serious oral health problems like ulcers on the roof of your mouth and worn-down teeth.
What Causes a Deep Bite?
- Genetics and poor jaw growth and development
- Missing teeth, especially the rear teeth
- Crowded teeth
