All this time I thought i had an overbite.... but its really a deep bite wow

[Me-tncm]

Just got my braces on for the third time within 15 years. Woke up one day and I had deep like not other. Excited to have my deep corrected. Third time a charm.

I have a severe overbite. So much so that it has made the rounded part of my lower jaw bone pointy. It isn't painful (yet) unless I've been eating things that take maximum jaw pressure to beak down (like taffy type foods). I do get headaches sometimes which I suspect originates from my jaw. My jaw clicks when my mouth opens too wide. Due to the overbite, my mouth doesn't close on its own naturally so I'm a mouth breather, but I use mouth tape to keep my mouth close when I sleep. I got a orthodontist consult yrs ago, and he told me that in order to get the smile I wanted, I would need to have all of my wisdom teeth removed prior to getting braces (they grew in correctly so, they haven't been problematic) because my jaw bone is fixed at my age (37 now) and removing them would allow it to be more flexible (or something along the lines of that). And I would need jaw surgery a year after my braces are installed to fix my severe overbite. My goal is to of course, fix the overbite, and close the gap in my two front teeth. The gap is about half of an incisor wide, not wide enough to fit another tooth there. One of my incisors overlaps the tooth next to it a bit, like there's slight crowding. The rest of my teeth are totally fine, they're straight aside from the overbite making them look misaligned. Do you think it's really necessary to have all of my wisdom teeth removed for braces? My overbite is obviously a skeletal issue and I do believe I would most likely need surgery, but can braces fix a severe bite problem like mine on their own? Can my jaw be manipulated without surgery?

I’ve had a deep bite for years now! It covers my entire bottom teeth and touches my lower gums but my dentist keeps saying I don’t need braces since I’m on Medicaid and they won’t cover it anyways. He says unless it’s life-threatening or I can’t eat they won’t do anything so my dads trying to look into Invisalign now

Just started treatment fir my 10 year old. She has a 100% overbite. Hope this helps her and in the long run helps her over all confidence.

[DignaJL]

I had had Invisalign (wasted) my money and time, and ten years later I have to wear real braces, I have a deep bite, and have the 3rd conditions in which I have those little bites blocks, I can't wait for my results. My treatment started at the beginning of September of this year 2022. Getting used to it.

[NationJJ]

Just realized I have an overbite and I'll be setting a consultation tomorrow now that I have dental insurance that'll cover a portion of the cost.

[ranim]

Love this!! Would love to see a video about the scissor bite!

[autumnelizabth]

I just got turbos with my Invisalign and this helped me understand how it all works. Thank you!! I had braces as a teen and that orthodontist didn’t fix my moderate deep bite. I didn’t have a chance to ask my new ortho about turbos at my appointment.

[quitemundane]

You have nice teeth! Ever since I started with braces, I subconsciously immediately look at people’s teeth.

[SuperStewie]

I just got out of braces and my dentist used bite pads and elastics to correct my moderate deep bite. I wish I had seen this video at the beginning of my braces journey as I wasn’t given specific reasons for my treatment plan

[anamareeba]

1:33 after the correction of deep bite once braces are removed, how are the gaps filled between the upper molars and bottom molars inside the mouth as shown in this animation ?

[emiliegauthier]

Wow! Your video is awsome! I have a severe deep bite and starting my orthodonstist treatment next week. I was looking for a video that explains how it will work. You did a great job! Now I have a better idea of the treatment i'm gonna have! Thanks 😁🙌👌

[quynh_mimii]

I have this issue, my orthodontist hasn’t dont anything about it and I’ve had braces for over 2 years now. It’s so frustrating 😭

[thedreamsoldiers]

I hope they can correct mine, it’s so bad. I’m at the point where I care more about my bite than my alignment.

[SistaSativa]

just got told i have a very severe deep bite gotta go to a consult soon, video helped me understand a
alot, thx

[giovega]

So what if youre missing molars, how would you correct that with a deep bite?

[gemsaint]

I had the third option for my sever overbite but they didn't use tooth pads 25 years ago, nor springs, just used bands and wires. I never developed any wisdom teeth, my "sixers" (don't even know what they are) didn't come through either I was told. I have no room at the bottom for any teeth anyway and a space on each side at the top, my teeth are back to a severe overbite and I don't even remembering that happening, just over the years they've gone back to their natural alignment because they've had the space to 🤷🏻that's my assumption. I've apparently got a very small jaw but I'm not ugly with it so I'm not mad.

Because of this I can't do workouts properly as it may lead to asymmetry. I discovered it recently. If you feel any asymmetry in your body first check with the tongue or teeth(uneven bite pressure/ teeth of one side not touching eachother like other). 5:37

I had my gap correction two years ago for 6 months and my teeth got perfectly aligned. however my doctor didn't tell me about my underbite. I am currently 19 and got ceramic braces again for my bite correction . I have a mild over bite of 3mm-4mm. I got my braces a month ago but how long do I have to wear braces for ?
