Adjustable bite ramps for deep bite correction and kits incorporating bite ramps

摘要

An adjustable bite ramp includes a tooth-attachment element and ramp element. The tooth-attachment element is sized and configured for bonding to the lingual surface of a person's tooth, while the ramp element is hingedly or bendably adjustable relative to the tooth-attachment element. The ramp element provides a ramp at a desired angle for engaging a corresponding tooth of the opposite dental arch when the person's mouth is closed. The engagement between the ramp element and the corresponding tooth of the opposite dental arch causes the lower jaw to move forward relative to the upper jaw, thereby incrementally correcting the deep bite condition.
