Abstract

Deep bite is usually treated by intrusion of the anterior teeth, extrusion of the posterior teeth, or a combination thereof. Various traditional methods have been used to correct deep bites, but they can cause negative side effects. Recently, temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) have been used to intrude the anterior teeth simply and efficiently without side effects. The amount of incisal exposure at rest should be considered as the first factor in determining which tooth segment should be intruded to correct a deep bite. The center of resistance of the anterior teeth should be considered to achieve the proper biomechanics when intruding them. The location of TSADs should be determined to ensure sufficient interradicular bone to achieve the desired tooth movement. Therefore, clinicians should understand the biomechanical and clinical considerations to correct a deep bite using TSADs.
