“…Similar results were found by Ghafari et al 2 , who compared intrusive mechanics by segmented arches with the treatment using continuous arches of nickel and titanium and observed real intrusion of maxillary and mandibular incisors.…”

“…Excessive overlapping of the maxillary incisors over mandibular incisors is noted when values above of 40% by vertical trespass of upper incisors are observed 2 . It can be found in Class I and Class II malocclusions, particularly in Class II division 2 malocclusion 3 , and be associated with incisors' wear, palatal lesions and damaged esthetics 4 , periodontal disease, functional deviations, inadequate mastication, occlusal trauma, teeth grinding and temporomandibular joint dysfunction 5 .…”

“…It can be found in Class I and Class II malocclusions, particularly in Class II division 2 malocclusion 3 , and be associated with incisors' wear, palatal lesions and damaged esthetics 4 , periodontal disease, functional deviations, inadequate mastication, occlusal trauma, teeth grinding and temporomandibular joint dysfunction 5 . Several etiologic factors have been associated with the occurrence of deep overbite [6][7] and they may be of genetic or dentofacial development source origin 2 , involving change of maxillomandibular growth, modification of labial and lingual functions and dentoalveolar alterations 8 . Among these factors are overstated incisors eruption, excessive overjet, incisor mesiodistal width, incisor inclination, canine position, molars infraocclusion, molar cusp height, mandibular rami height and vertical facial type 6 .…”

Aim: To compare two types of treatment for Class II deep overbite malocclusion assessing maxillary and mandibular arches behavior in subjects submitted to full orthodontic treatment with standard edgewise appliance and those who used straight wire appliance. Methods: The sample consisted of 50 patients treated with full fixed appliances either with edgewise appliance (n=25, Group 1), or with straight wire appliance (n=25, Group 2). In both groups lateral cephalometric radiographs were compared with those done at the beginning of treatment and at its end, in order to quantify the cephalometric measures (8 linear and 6 angular) presenting the maxillary and mandibular arches behavior in the anteroposterior and vertical directions. All patients were treated without extraction or use of Class II intermaxillary elastics during the full orthodontic treatment. Results: In both groups the treatment of malocclusion contributed for mandibular forward displacement, reduction of deep overbite and overjet, reduction of mandibular plane with anti-clockwise rotation and labial projection of maxillary incisors. Conclusions: In both groups the sample showed favorable mandibular displacement, reduction of facial convexity, and profile improvement with anti-clockwise rotation. The correction of deep overbite was due to labial projection and intrusion of maxillary incisors.

“…Dento-alveolar compensation that happens continuously and is accelerated by wear problems, eliminates and retention from inside of tooth structure using postretained restoration or Richmond crown. 4,[14][15][16] Each of these options has its own indications and considerations. On the other hand, the wear of buccal surface of mandibular anterior teeth (the present case) is one of the problems needs increasing VDO in most of the cases.…”

“…The possible treatment plans might be consisted of reshaping of malformed restorations, orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery, and prosthetic reconstruction. 4 , 13 , 14 One of the challenges in deep bite patients is related to available restorative space for needed restorations. The treatment could become even more complicated when the occlusal wear occurs in a deep bite patient.…”
