So I was checking my bite and I’m confused whether it’s dental or skeletal.
In my normal bite, my lower third looks short.
But when I align my upper and lower teeth edge-to-edge, my face suddenly looks more balanced and proportional.
From what I’ve read, if the lower third looks short only when teeth are closed but looks normal when aligned, it’s usually dental, not skeletal.
Just wanted to confirm — does this mean I have a dental deep bite and not a skeletal
one?
