CLINICAL CASE

Dental overbite

Dental overbite occurs when the upper incisors over cover the lower incisors. This type of problem favors the wear of the incisors in the long term, since these teeth contact before the rest of the dentition. This excess pressure can also overload the gums and the bone that supports the teeth, favoring mobility and tooth loss.

Overbite can be treated by different orthodontic techniques. Aesthetic brackets, invisalign removable aligners or linear brackets are excellent options to resolve the contact and excessive wear of the anterior teeth that is experienced in those patients who suffer from dental overbite.

Before and after treatment

A 38-year-old patient who went to the orthodontist because she noticed excessive pressure on the anterior teeth and the lower incisors were not visible when smiling. After a meticulous study of his malocclusion, a treatment using invisible ceramic brackets was planned, which managed to align the teeth in 24 hours of treatment and allowed the excessive pressure on the anterior teeth to be released.
