Deep bite is one of the frequently seen malocclusion, that occurs along with other associated malocclusions. It is said to be one of the most perpetuating and damaging malocclusions. It may jeopardize the periodontal support, occlusion itself or TMJ. Intrusion mechanics are considered if there is an inadequate or normal freeway space.
