When Dr. Canzoneri talks about your bite, also called the occlusion, he is referring to the way in which your upper and lower teeth come together. Ideally, when your teeth come together there should be about one-half to two-thirds of the length of your bottom teeth showing. If your upper teeth cover too much of the lower teeth, then this is called an overbite, or deep bite. If your upper teeth don’t cover enough of the lower ones, then you an open bite. Dr. Canzoneri offers bite reconstruction in Arcadia, so you can have a smile that is comfortable and attractive.
