Deep Bite Explanation

Are you a dental student or orthodontist looking to master deep bite correction? In this comprehensive guide, we break down the essential techniques for correcting vertical discrepancies, based on leading orthodontic principles.

A deep bite is more than just an aesthetic issue; it can impact jaw function, cause tooth wear, and compromise long-term stability. We'll explore the three primary methods for correction:

🔹 **Selective Incisor Intrusion:** The perfect solution for gummy smiles. We'll show you how intrusion arches and TADs work.
🔹 **Selective Molar Extrusion:** Ideal for patients with a short lower facial height. Learn how to use bite planes and elastics to open the bite.
🔹 **Leveling the Curve of Spee:** Discover how reverse-curved archwires can effectively and efficiently level the dental arch.

Using clear diagrams and clinical examples from the textbook "Correction of Vertical Discrepancies," this video will provide you with the foundational knowledge to confidently diagnose and treat deep bite cases.
