1. Deep overbites, or vertical overlap of the mandibular incisors by the maxillary incisors greater than 3 mm, are common malocclusions. They can be classified as skeletal, dental, or soft tissue in nature. 2. Deep overbites require correction to prevent trauma, excessive wear, and abnormal jaw development if left untreated. They are associated with risks such as temporomandibular joint disorders. 3. Diagnosis of deep overbites involves analysis of dental relationships, facial proportions, and cephalometric measurements to determine the underlying skeletal, dental, or soft tissue etiology in each case. Correction may involve orthodontic treatment with or without orthogn
