Untreated deepbite can cause increased anterior crowding, maxillary dental flaring, periodontal problems, and temporomandibular joint problems and can interfere with lateral and anterior mandibular movements.

Deepbite can be treated orthodontically by intrusion or flaring of the incisors, extrusion or passive eruption of the buccal segments, or a combination of these.
Extrusion of the posterior dentition, although an effective method of bite opening in growing patients, is not indicated in patients with normal incisor display or normal or long lower facial height; its stability is questionable in nongrowing patients with average to low mandibular plane angles.
Invisalign can perform deep bite relief for our patients. There are special protocols though that need to be applied to your Clincheck set ups.
