Its when you have an overbit your two top teeth dont allign with you two bottom teeth. Unfortuanitly with an overbit/deepbit you will need top and bottom braces so the rubber bands to fix ur bite can attach.

Deep bite is when your upper front teeth come down over your lower front teeth more than they should. It's also called an overbite.
Overbite is different from overjet. Overjet is when your upper front teeth are too far forward relative to your lower front teeth.
