Common Problems Spacing
Deep Overbite

Deep overbite is excessive vertical overlapping of incisor teeth. This is usually treated with braces when most of the teeth have erupted. A deep bite can sometimes lead to headaches and unwanted grinding habits. Sometimes a simple removable applicance can help with these problems while awaiting eruption of the permanent teeth.
