What is a deep bite?
A deepbite occurs when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth when you bite down. This type of bite issue can affect both your appearance and your dental health if left untreated.
Causes:
Jaw and tooth misalignment, such as a smaller lower jaw or teeth crowding
Tooth damage or loss, including worn, decayed, or missing back teeth
Genetic factors or failed dental treatments
Issues caused by a deepbite
Ignoring deepbite teeth can create long-term oral health complications, such as:
-
Worn-down lower teeth
-
Sores or ulcers on the roof of the mouth
-
Crooked or crowded teeth
-
TMJ disorders requiring a bite guard for TMJ
-
Gum disease and a higher risk of infection
-
Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly

Frequently asked questions
-
How long does Caspersmile take to correct a deepbite?
Treatment time depends on the severity of your deepbite, but most patients see results within 6–12 months using our dental aligners UK.
-
Does a deepbite change your face shape?
Yes. A deepbite can shorten the appearance of your lower face and make the chin look less prominent. Correcting it with aligners can restore balance and symmetry.
-
What’s the difference between a deepbite and an overbite?
An overbite is the vertical overlap of the upper and lower teeth. A deepbite is a more severe condition, where the lower teeth are almost hidden behind the upper teeth.
