Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Deep bite malocclusion affects 15-20% of the US population. This review found that orthodontic correction of deep bites is generally stable long-term, though initial severity may influence outcomes.

Area of Science:

Orthodontics
Dental Malocclusion
Systematic Review

Background:

Deep bite malocclusion affects 15-20% of the US population.
Current knowledge regarding the stability of deep bite correction is limited.
Identifying efficient and stable correction methods is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review factors influencing the long-term stability of deep bite correction.
To evaluate the effectiveness of orthodontic treatments for deep bite malocclusion.

Main Methods:

Systematic electronic search of four databases (1966-2012).
Inclusion of studies reporting on orthodontic treatment for deep bite in permanent dentition with pre- and post-treatment records.
Data abstraction and risk of bias assessment using custom forms and modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

Main Results:

Twenty-six studies met inclusion criteria; most were case series with potential bias.
Significant overbite improvement was observed during treatment, with most correction maintained long-term (mean initial 5.3mm, post-treatment 2.6mm, long-term 3.4mm).
Initial severity appeared related to stability, but this was difficult to isolate; follow-up length did not correlate with relapse.

Conclusions:

Orthodontic treatment for deep bite malocclusion generally yields successful and stable results.
Despite limitations in evidence quality, deep bite correction demonstrates good long-term stability.
Further research is needed to isolate factors affecting stability.
