Week 6-7 CE Quiz – Deep Bite malocclusions (Forum 12 Retake)

Like a wire has flexibility and will flex and fit into bracket slots and won’t be fully expressed so does an aligner have flexibility and will flex and fit over clinical crowns and won’t be fully expressed to mimic what is seen on the software.

One advantage of deep bite treatment with aligners is the ability to start treating both arches from the beginning without having to use auxiliaries to create clearance to bond lower teeth.

The wagon wheel effect readily occurs automatically with aligners.

It is recommended to add attachments to the molars when leveling a Curve of Spee, an attachment which is generally not automatically added in ClinCheck for anchorage.

Bite turbos are indicated for upper incisor intrusion.

It is highly recommended to finish all deep bite cases with zero centric contacts and visible overcorrection of virtual bite opening on the digital treatment plan when treating deep bite malocclusions.

When the upper 2-2 is experiencing the expression of lingual root torque, it is a good idea to add in some intrusion of the upper 2-2 into the digital treatment plan.

It is recommended to avoid IPR as much as possible in deep bite cases, as this has a tendency to cause potential steepening of the Curve of Spee clinically.
