Deep overjet cannot be self-adjusted and requires professional orthodontic or surgical treatment.
In layman’s terms, deep overjet refers to the upper teeth biting down on the lower teeth too much, which can be broadly categorized into dental and bony cases. Patients with dental overjet can usually be corrected by wearing orthodontic appliances; patients with bony overjet are more difficult to treat and usually require further surgical treatment.
Self-adjustment is not effective in treating the root cause, and inappropriate methods may even lead to more serious consequences. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with deep overjaw should go to a professional hospital for treatment, and the earlier the treatment, the better the outcome.
