At first glance treatment of a deep bite may seem simple — the teeth are overlapping, and we just need to correct them. But beneath the surface lies a complex web of biomechanical, esthetic, and functional challenges.
Much like swimming in deep waters, treating a deep bite requires patience, knowledge, good technique and courage. If we’re not careful, we can easily destabilize the occlusion, provoke relapse, or compromise the esthetic outcome.
To truly understand the story behind a deep bite, we need to have a complete diagnostic foundation. We must be aware of all the specific characteristics that appear at the skeletal level, the facial level, and within orofacial functions in these patients.
This is not a homogeneous group of malocclusions—some patients present with purely dental issues, others with skeletal discrepancies, and in many cases, the two are combined. One thing is clear: there is no room for generalizations in treatment. Every case is a story of its own.
With this lecture we’re diving not just into the deep bite itself, but into everything it takes to safely ‘surface’ from it.
