A deep bite, also known as an overbite, is a dental condition where the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth when the jaw is closed. My dentist’s described my deep bite as a “severe case” needed of prompt attention since it is myself repeatedly damaging my teeth and ultemately making two my dental implants to fall out.
Other problems I experienced were: jaw pain, especially in the mornings, wear on the front teeth and some gum recession.
I will be using a bite plane for a few months (4 to 6 months) to help adjust the position and reduce the impact of my excessive bite. At the moment I have rubber rings to create space between teeth for the subsequent placement of braces.
