title: Correction of deep anterior overbite. A report of three cases.
abstract: The maintenance of deep overbite correction is one of the criteria by which we judge the long-term success of orthodontic treatment. To correct and maintain an excessive overbite, the orthodontist must intrude the overerupted teeth and establish a more ideal interincisal angle. The mechanical means to achieve this have been discussed. Three case reports have been presented to illustrate that attention to these details during treatment is of importance in achieving long term results.
