I mean you can't make your actual teeth bigger, the only way really would be crowns over your actual teeth but even then you would need palate expansion if you want to increase the width. It's probably not worth it unless you are rich

Deepbite makes the total face shorter and midface longer compared to upper and lower thirds

thank u so much man. my chin is still good tho its a square but hearing that fixing the deepbite helps my midface gave me some relief especially cause im 20 minus 6 years old

This is literally what I had and I thought it was my lower third, I've been keeping a gap between my teeth to cope with the issue.

I've got a question though

I'm a bit paranoid so would aligners ruin my forward growth or make me look recessed because I've seen many ppl look recessed after braces and stuff, since I've got a good mandible and forward growth. Good thread though imo made me realise my only flaw

Cope, deep bite only changes the face when biten down.

Someone has a deep bite lol subhuman

About half yeah

When you say half, make sure it's actually half. Because normally you are supposed to have a very partial 20-30% overlap on your front teeth. However if you actually lose half of lower teeth show, then you definitely have a partial deep bite

What a lot of people don't know is that teeth posture affects more than just your smile. It changes the whole face, jaw positioning, cheekbone prominance, and many other important features you may not think it effects.

A regressive feature that is relatively unknown by normies is the deep bite. It is a form of overbite where the upper incisors and cuspids overlap a majority of the body of the lower counterparts. It is a malocclusion that is quite common, affecting 15-20% of americans.

The first negative effect a deep bite has is that when smiling, only the upper row is shown. This makes a smile look less full, and therefore less attractive. Gum positioning can also effect smile show, however a deep bite can also impact how prominant the gums are.

Another effect a deep bite has is contributing to retrognathia, the recession of the mandible. The deep bite makes the mandible angle more occluded and the jaw less defined. A deep bite will also worsen chin projection, as the lower jaw is further back as it could be. If properly aligned, the chin will be moved forward in comparison to the maxilla, and the mandible angle and ramus will be more prominant and defined.

In addition it also effects the cheeks. As the lower jaw is more close to the maxilla for someone with a deep bite, it reduces how hollow the cheeks are, giving a more "puffy" look. Even if a person has high cheekbones, a very tight bite will make it hard to develop hollow cheeks, even when lean.

Another negative a deep bite can cause is a shortening of the lower facial third which will make facial aesthetics poorer.

A lot of dentists never mention deep bites because some don't care enough or some (like in the NHS) don't see it as a problem unless for very severe fringe cases. The optimal resting position for your teeth (when biting down) should be just over the top of your front teeth by less than 3mm.

Luckily, a deep bite that is not too severe is relatively easy to fix and can be done with invisalign or similar methods. A very severe deep bite (normally classed as overbite) may require surgery to properly fix.

It is my recommendation for those of you that have a deep bite to fix it as soon as possible as it will upgrade your face, jaw and smile.
