Background: Treatment for deep overbite cases can be difficult. This case report presents some techniques with improved super-elastic Ti-Ni alloy wire (ISW) for deep overbite correction.
Case Summary: A 21-year-old woman had a chief complaint of flaring maxillary teeth. Orthodontic evaluation revealed a skeletal class II malocclusion and a convex profile appearance. A deep overbite with palatal impingement and large overjet were also noted. Bilateral maxillary first premolars were extracted, and spaces were closed using a closed-coil spring and elastic chain. The deep overbite was corrected by applying the ISW curve and ISW intrusion arch. Intermaxillary elastics was used to adjust the intermaxillary relationship. Active treatment took approximately 3 years, and the appearance and dentition alignment noticeably improved.
Conclusion: The use of the ISW technique in a case of skeletal class II malocclusion with deep overbite achieved a desirable result, and the patient was satisfied with the treatment outcome.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of incisor intrusion in nonextraction deep overbite cases in adult female patients treated with clear aligners (Invisalign, Align Tech, USA), and to investigate the predictability of clear aligner treatment for deep overbite correction.
Methods: This retrospective study included thirty-three adult female patients who underwent nonextraction followed by clear aligner treatment. The initial, predicted, and actual models were exported from ClinCheck.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the buccal bone thickness and root length of the maxillary incisors in deep bite patients.
Material And Methods: Cone beam computed tomography data of 124 patients were randomly selected in this cross-sectional study. In the study, patients were divided into two groups, normal bite and deep bite, and buccal bone thickness and root length of the maxillary incisors were measured.

Objectives: To investigate patient-level and tooth-level risk factors associated with symptomatic cracked teeth through a case-control study.
Methods: The case-control study included 100 symptomatic cracked tooth patients and matched controls. Patient-level (demographics and oral behaviors) and tooth-level parameters (type, location, crack location and cuspal inclination) were respectively assessed through questionnaires and clinical examinations.
