"Over-bites."

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.

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