With a deep dentition, overlapping of the lower teeth with the upper teeth is observed by more than half. Such a bite can be developed not only on the front of the jaw, but also on the lateral parts.
This type of bite (occlusion) is dangerous because a disease such as periodontal disease can develop very early.
In addition, such patients may face the appearance of periodontitis (inflammation of the gums). The mucous membrane of the mouth suffers greatly, as it is constantly damaged by the teeth. In addition, the volume of the oral cavity decreases, and this leads to impaired swallowing of food and breathing.
In most cases, some groups of front teeth are erased. Patients complain of crunching, snapping, and pain in the joints. Prosthetics of such a bite is very difficult.
