This document discusses deep overbite malocclusions. It begins with definitions and classifications of overbites. It notes that overbites greater than 5mm may require correction to prevent trauma. Causes can be skeletal, dental, or soft tissue. Diagnosis involves cephalometric analysis. Treatment principles involve molar extrusion and incisor intrusion using various appliances like bite planes, utility arches, mini-screws and orthognathic surgery in severe cases. Correction is important to prevent dental wear and speech issues.
