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