We provide advanced deep bite correction using modern treatments like clear aligners, braces, and customized care plans customized for both children and adults.
What is a Deep Bite?
A deep bite occurs when the upper front teeth excessively cover the lower front teeth vertically when you bite down or close the mouth. The deep bite often includes signs like worn-down teeth, jaw pain, or speech issues. Some people also confuse deep bite vs overbite, but here’s the difference: While both involve misalignment, a deep bite is a type of overbite that is more severe and often causes physical complications like tooth wear, gum damage, and jaw strain.

Deep Bite Correction Options
We offer several safe and effective options for deep bite correction:
1. Deep Bite Correction Invisalign
Clear aligners like Invisalign gently and discreetly move back teeth into proper position. They’re perfect for mild to moderate deep bite correction in adults who want a non-invasive, almost invisible solution.
2. Deep Bite Treatment Braces
Traditional braces remain highly effective for more complex deep bite malocclusion cases. They allow correct movement of teeth over time.
3. Deep Bite Treatment Without Braces
In some mild cases, deep bite treatment without braces is possible using a combination of clear aligners and retainers. A full check up is required to determine if the patient is opting for treatment without braces.
