What's going on?

summary

Nowadays, people are very concerned about people's appearance. For example, teeth are one of them, so many people don't want to see tooth deformities. In addition to buckteeth, earth covering, tiger teeth and crowding teeth, there is another type of tooth deformity: deep overbite, which is no less harmful than other malformed teeth. However, many people don't know what the situation is about deep overbite. Here's how deep overbite works.

What's going on?

First, the deep overbite of teeth means that the front incisors are not opposite to each other in the state of clenching teeth, but the upper incisors cover the lower incisors, so how much should be covered? Generally speaking, about 1 / 3 of the lower teeth are covered.

Second, if more than 1 / 3, it is called deep overburden. Deep overbite has a lot of potential hazards, which will affect the cutting guide inclination of the anterior teeth. Over time, it will cause trauma to the temporomandibular joint, resulting in pain and bounce! In addition, deep overburden may deepen with age.

Third: for its treatment, the most commonly used treatment for deep overbite is orthodontics. The advantage of orthodontics is that the original teeth are preserved after correction, and the vast majority of patients can achieve satisfactory results. The disadvantage is that the treatment takes a long time, one to two years!

matters needing attention

Therefore, if the patient has deep overbite, he must be treated carefully. Otherwise, through the above understanding, you will realize that if the deep overbite is allowed to continue to deepen, it will lead to periodontitis, so early treatment can contribute to rapid recovery.
