title: [Intercepting overbite].
abstract: Overbite appears when neither the interposition of soft tissue nor end-to-end occlusion           of anterior teeth succeeds in arresting the natural continuous eruption of incisor teeth.           In Class II, division 2 malocclusions during movements of propulsion and of the lateral           occlusion, end-to-end incisal relationships are blocked by occlusal interference, perhaps           of temporary canines or permanent molars, or by inappropriate orthodontic maneuvers.           Orthodontists can prevent this from happening by having patients wear a simple bite plate           to contain the eruptive force of lower incisors.
