What can be done about raised front teeth?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understood your concern.

Yes, you are absolutely correct in expressing your concern about your lower teeth. It appears that you have a deep bite, which means that your lower teeth are not as visible as they should be.

There are a couple of reasons for a deep bite:

1. The upper or lower front teeth have erupted more.

2. The upper or lower back teeth have erupted less.

3. A combination of these factors can contribute to a deep bite and less visibility of the lower front teeth.

To correct this issue, we need to take the reverse approach, which involves either allowing the back teeth to erupt more or reducing the eruption of the front teeth. In your case, your lower front teeth have erupted more and need proper alignment. You have been given multiple elastics for midline correction and teeth settling. This settling process can help promote the eruption of the back teeth and correct the deep bite. However, more than elastics is required, you will also need an anterior bite plane, which creates a gap in the back teeth and allows space for eruption. Without this gap, there will not be enough room for the posterior teeth to erupt. Combining an anterior bite plane and elastics is the correct approach to address the deep bite.

I hope this helps you out. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need more information.

Thanks and regards.
