Case of Deep Overbite 1

Deep overbite is an abnormal occlusion where the upper front teeth cover the lower
front teeth more than normal. It can contribute to periodontal disease,
excessive force or damage to the teeth, and may be associated with bruxism and
temporomandibular joint disorders. Deep overbite often makes the midface
appear longer and can result in a square jaw due to the increased occlusal force
and excessive exposure of the upper anterior teeth.

Open Bite

Open bite refers to a type of malocclusion where there is a gap between
the upper and lower teeth when they are in a centered occlusion,
leading to a lack of contact between them and creating spaces between the teeth.

In this case, the patient couldn't cut food as the upper and lower teeth did not touch, and experienced dry mouth due to the inability to close the mouth properly. The open bite was addressed using screws and molar instructions, establishing a normal dental occlusion that allowed for cutting food effectively.

Non-Extraction Protruded Teeth Correction - 1

Protruded teeth refer to a condition where the gums and teeth extend
forward compared to the tip of the nose or chin when viewed from the side.
Correcting protruded teeth can not only change the facial contour
but also improve issues like nasolabial folds and a recessed chin,
resulting in a more refined appearance.

This case involves a patient whose lower jaw was smaller compared to the upper jaw, and who had difficulty fully closing their lips.

Crooked teeth correction

Crooked teeth occur when there isn’t enough space for the teeth to come in properly,
causing them to shift significantly to the side.
Food particles can easily get stuck between the teeth,
and brushing becomes difficult, increasing the risk of cavities.

This case involves a patient with crooked teeth caused by a narrow dental arch, resulting in insufficient space for proper tooth alignment. The crooked teeth, which frequently led to cavities and periodontal disease, were straightened, and the occlusion was improved, creating a healthier oral environment.

Gap teeth correction - 1

Gap teeth refer to a type of malocclusion where the teeth are spaced apart due to
congenital or acquired factors, as well as an imbalance between the size of the jawbone and
the size of the teeth, leaving gaps in the gums.

This case involves a patient with congenital absence of the two lower front teeth. To align the occlusion, the upper teeth were extracted, and the lower teeth were corrected with orthodontics to close the space. As a result, normal upper and lower relationships were achieved, resolving issues with speech and improving masticatory function.

Asymmetric correction of a misaligned plane

This occurs when the entire dental arch is tilted relative to the lip line or face. It may not be due to
a tilted occlusal plane but could instead be caused by muscular or skeletal asymmetry,
necessitating an accurate diagnosis.

This case involves a patient whose face appeared uneven, with one side drooping when smiling or speaking. The occlusal plane on the right side, which was lowered, was raised, and the misalignment of the lips and facial asymmetry were alleviated. Additionally, the lower jaw was rotated to match the elevated side, effectively resolving the asymmetry.

Correction of malocclusion due to microdontia

Crooked teeth occur when there isn’t enough space for the teeth to come in properly,
causing them to shift significantly to the side.
Food particles can easily get stuck between the teeth,
and brushing becomes difficult, increasing the risk of cavities.

This case involves a patient with malocclusion caused by microdontia and missing teeth, which led to gaps between the teeth that caused them to cover their mouth with their hand when smiling. After arranging the teeth, fixed appliances were used to resolve the asymmetry. Once the orthodontic treatment was completed, laminate veneers were applied to the small areas. Following the treatment, the patient regained confidence with a bright smile.

Distal Jet (Non-extraction orthodontic treatment)

Non-extraction orthodontic treatment involves shifting the upper molars backward and
upward to inhibit growth, thereby improving an overbite. This approach allows for orthodontic
correction without the need for extractions.

Using a Distal Jet, the upper molars are moved backward and upward without extractions to arrange the teeth and improve the occlusal relationship. This approach not only enhances alignment but also provides a lifting effect by pulling the molars upward.
