Fixing Deep Bite - Primal Revolution
This is a thread that was created for my forum community (primalrevolution.net)—if you would like personal plans, coaching, and daily threads like these, you can join.
A deep bite, which can also be classed as an overbite (not overjet, where the teeth tilt outwards), is a dental malocclusion where the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth when the back teeth are closed. (molars touching)
Anything past 25% coverage is considered a deep bite.
If your top teeth cover more than 25% of your bottom teeth, you have a deep bite and most likely are suffering from jaw aesthetic issues.
The worse your deep bite- the shorter your lower third and jaw will get, which can decrease the height of your ramus and mandible , and make you much less aesthetic (people with severe deep bites suffer from masseter muscle issues, TMJ, and short face syndrome)
Classifying the Severity
Once you identify your deep bite, classify yourself into three categories:
0. No Deep Bite (0-24% Coverage)
1. Mild Deep Bite (25-49% Coverage)
2. Normal Deep Bite (50-74% Coverage)
3. Severe Deep Bite (75-100% Coverage) you can have more than 100% coverage as well..
Protocol for Mild/Normal Deep Bites:
These types of deep bites are much easier to fix
You can expect to fully fix this type of deep bite in anywhere from 3 weeks to 8 months (depending on age and other factors)
PRACTICE 1 (Passive, at least 6 hours daily):
Incisor contact, allowing the molars to erupt
For as much as possible, try to make the natural posture of your teeth , be incisors touching; your molars and other teeth should have absolutely no contact
This will seem very uncomfortable, but it is actually beneficial for allowing the molars to erupt gradually.
Do not push the lower jaw in front of the top front teeth; only have them making contact
If this is too extreme for you, you can have your teeth be directly behind the incisors as your new natural posture.

Follow this practice for as long as possible daily, while you're eating, chewing, and even try to do it while you sleep.
Now this technique was only created to mimic how appliances work; it's much harder, uncomfortable, and slower than using the appliances I will reccomend in this document, but if you have no other solution, this may be your only hope.
PRACTICE 2 (Essentially just practice 1, whilst doing stimulating activities)
Follow either variation of Practice 1 while doing jaw-condyle- stimulating activities like chewing or swallowing.
Do this for 15-60 minutes daily; stop if any pain occurs in the jaw and mandibular condyles.
