Is a Deep Bite OK?

Published in Dental Health 1 min read

No, a deep bite is generally not considered OK due to potential health complications.

A deep bite, although perhaps first noticed because of its appearance, can lead to various problems. According to a referenced article, these issues may include:

  • Accelerated wear on the upper and lower front teeth.
  • Potential jaw discomfort.
  • Gum recession.
  • Increased risk of chipping the front teeth. (07-Jan-2019)

Therefore, it's important to consult with a dentist or orthodontist if you suspect you have a deep bite to explore potential treatment options.
