Button bite turbo

Deep overbite or deep bite is a common malocclusion. The etiology may be dental, skeletal, or combination of both skeletal and dental. The treatment plan to correct deep overbite depends on the severity, type and the age of the patient. In deep bite with redundant upper and/or lower lips, or no interlabial gap, posterior extrusive mechanics may be desirable (if other considerations pearmit). Extrusion mechanics are considered if there is adequate interocclusal space. The bite turbo appliance discussed in this article permits disocclusion of the posterior teeth which allows extrusion of the premolar and molars leading to correction of deep bite.
