Topic: Overbite


In the News (Wed 8 Oct 08)

  
  Overbite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Overbite occurs when the upper front teeth protrude over the lower front teeth.
Overbite is due to a disproportionate amount of eruption of front teeth, or over development of the bone that supports the teeth, and a front to back discrepancy in the growth of the upper or lower jaw (Class II Relationship).
Overbite can be corrected through moving the front teeth up and/or bringing the back teeth together, which will "open" the bite so the teeth are properly aligned and the deep bite is eliminated.

 Dr. Fred Schudy: The Great Divide
When a deep overbite develops, accompanied by a large interincisal angle, it tends to force the crowns of the mandibular incisors lingually and the apices of the maxillary incisors labially.
This is a three year growth cycle in a female from 9 to 12 years of age, (A and B respectively) The vertical overbite increased from 4mm to 6mm, and the interincisal angle increased from 148 degrees to 156 degrees.
This is why it is of transcendent importance to correct overbites until incisors are end to end, obtain the correct interincisal angle (about 135°), and secure the integrity of the mandibular arch with a cemented retainer from cuspid to cuspid.

 The Orthodontic CYBERjournal: PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF OVERBITE DEPTH INDICATOR
The Overbite Depth Indicator (ODI) is the arithmetic sum of the angle of the A-B plane to the mandibular plane and the angle of the Palatal plane to Frankfort horizontal plane.
The correlation coefficient of the incisal overbite depth and the ODI found its highest value (0.588) in the malocclusion sample of 500 individuals.  Kim noticed that when the malocclusion fell within the range of normal overbite, the skeletal pattern generally did not deviate from that norm, regardless of the Angle classification.
In this study he also noted that the sample had a range and severity of 11mm of overbite and -11mm of openbite.

 Types of Bites
Excessive overbite may be caused by disproportionate eruption of front teeth, or over development of the bone that supports the teeth.
Overbite can be corrected through orthodontic leveling of the front and/or back teeth.
Excessive overjet may be caused by improper alignment of the molars (Class II relationship); a skeletal imbalance of the upper and lower jaw(s); flared upper incisors; missing lower teeth; crowded or tipped back lower teeth, or a combination of all the above.

Overbite was a common, uncorrected problem, especially in adults.
A well trained neuromuscular dentist can analyze the underlying conditions that are responsible for the problem of adult overbite, and they can prescribe and fit a variety of corrective answers.
Often, overbite correction involves a malocclusion between the muscles and parts of the jaw.

Overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively.
Overbite is due to a disproportionate amount of eruption of front teeth, or over development of the bone that supports the teeth, and a discrepancy in the growth of the upper or lower jaws (Class II Relationship).
Overbite can be corrected through jaw growth modification and tooth movement using braces and/or bite appliances.

 Overbite/Underbite
Protruding teeth (overbite) or an underbite may not be a dental problem; rather a skeletal problem.
Skeletal Balance - Lack of balance between the upper and lower jaw length may result in an overbite or an underbite condition.
Headgear or lower jaw development appliance - An orthopedic headgear may be utilized to slow excess upper jaw length or reverse headgear to develop a deficient upper jaw length.

 Correcting Adult Overbite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
When the neuromuscular aspects of the mouth and jaw are all taken into consideration, a number of related but previously undetected problems like tooth grinding during sleep can be remedied as well.
As adult overbite is often a byproduct of physical malocclusion between the jaw and the skull, treatment of the underlying problem, as well as the fitting of conventional braces for the teeth, can do wonders.
When correcting adult overbite be sure to seek out the services of an expert dental professional, such as Dr. Demerjian, who is knowledgeable about the latest techniques and practices.

 Dr. Fred Schudy: The Correction of Deep Bite in Orthodontic Treatment
Eleven millimeters of overbite usually will mean that the lower incisors are impinging on the gingival tissue of the upper arch.
He later states that, "In many cases the deep overbite returns as the maxillary and mandibular incisors 'over erupt' following appliance removal." He infers that there is no difference in the tendency to "over erupt" between the upper and lower incisors.
Frankly, it is regrettable that an international clinician and author, who speaks all over the world and who is in great demand as a speaker, would not know that lack of vertical growth of molars (lower and upper) plays a dominant role in causing deep bite malocclusion.

 Non-Braces Overbite Correction | Ask MetaFilter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
I read the other questions posted on MeFi, but this is a different case because the primary objective is overbite correction as opposed to the straightening of teeth (had this fixed in high school with retainers, refused to get braces, hence the remaining overbite).
The way braces fix overbites is through the use of rubber bands attached to the brackets, spanning from the upper teeth to the lower teeth.
Here, the dentist says "some overbite is normal", but here they say that overbite indicates a class II malocclusion, and requires jaw alignment.
