The term over-bite refers to the amount of vertical overlap of the front
teeth. Too much, or insufficient over-bite can cause problems. The
mal-occlusion known as over-bite deserves attention because it can
potentially interfere with speaking, swallowing, chewing foods and
often considered a cosmetic concern as well.
Excessive over-bite, or a deep bite, is too much overlap of the front
teeth. A parent noticing that the lower front teeth are not visualized
very much when the teeth are closed together can detect this. This
situation means excessive force from biting, is conveyed to the front
teeth (which are smaller than the back teeth and not designed to take
that force).This can lead to excessive wear, fracturing and chipping
of teeth, and may even predispose the individual to future TMD,
which are jaw joint difficulties. Sometimes the over-bite may be so
deep that the lower front teeth actually reach the roof of the mouth
which can lead toward other problems. This is referred to as a deep
impinging over-bite.

and
Insufficient over-bite is referred to as an anterior (or front) open-bite.

not only creates a cosmetic issue but also without the front teeth

able to bite together properly, may lead to excessive force on the
posterior or back teeth. This can lead to excessive wear and future
restorative dental needs such as crowns etc.
Parents with any orthodontic concerns for their child should consult
an orthodontist to discuss alternatives and the benefits of orthodontic
treatment. As a dental specialist, an orthodontist has elected to limit
his or her practice to this specific area of expertise and has received
additional training by an accredited dental school for advanced
education.
