Management of Deep Bite Parts 1 & 2

Professor Rabie discusses Class II Division 2 malocclusion and the management of a deep bite.

Class II Division 2 malocclusion is often clinically challenging as it presents with deep bite. Treatment to open the bite requires analysis to determine how much to intrude upper incisors, lower incisors and/or rotating the mandible downwards and backwards.

What Will I Learn?

• Hallmarks of Class II Division 2 malocclusion
• Why deep bite happens in this type of malocclusion?
• How to decide between intrusion of upper/lower incisors and/or rotating the mandible downwards and backwards?
• How to include the mandibular plane angle in the decision making process?
• When to use the effective intrusion arch mechanics for true intrusion?
• When to use reverse curve wires for relative intrusion?

What Wire Bending Mechanics will I Learn?

• 2×4 Appliance with Advancing Loop and Intrusion Bend

Once you have mastered the bite opening mechanics, Professor Rabie will further discuss…

• AP Correction: How to correct canines into class I relationship?
• How to improve facial profile?
• Discussion of finishing and detailing with Prof Rabie’s cases.
