Deep Bite Treatment in West Hills

Deep bite treatment in West Hills corrects an excessive overbite, where the upper front teeth cover too much of the lower front teeth when you bite down. In a healthy bite the overlap is small; a deep bite is a large vertical overlap that can wear down teeth and strain the jaw over time.

Why a deep bite matters

• Tooth wear: lower teeth can wear or chip against the uppers.
• Gum irritation: lower teeth may bite into the gum behind the upper teeth.
• Jaw strain: a deep bite can contribute to jaw discomfort; see TMJ and jaw alignment.

How we correct a deep bite

• Braces: very effective at intruding and leveling the teeth to open the bite.
• Invisalign: can correct many deep bites with precise, planned movement.
• Growth guidance in children, when the deep bite is developing.

The payoff

Correcting a deep bite protects your teeth from long-term wear, can ease jaw strain, and gives you a more balanced smile. At a consultation we measure your overlap and recommend the best fix.
