Abstract
Deep bite is a malocclusion phenotype, defined as the misalignment in the vertical dimension of teeth and jaws and characterized by excessive overlap of the upper front teeth over the lower front teeth. Numerous factors, including genetics, environmental factors, and behavioral ones, might contribute to deep bite. In this study, we discuss the current clinical treatment strategies for deep bite, summarize the already published findings of genetic analysis associated with this complex phenotype, and their constraints. Finally, we propose a comprehensive roadmap to facilitate investigations for determining the genetic bases of this complex phenotype development. Initially, human deep bite phenotype, genetics of human deep bite, the prevalence of human deep bite, diagnosis, and treatment of human deep bite were the search terms for published publications. Here, we discuss these findings and their limitations and our view on future strategies for studying the genetic bases of this complex phenotype. New preventative and treatment methods for this widespread dental issue can be developed with the help of an understanding of the genetic and epigenetic variables that influence malocclusion. Additionally, malocclusion treatment may benefit from technological developments like 3D printing and computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM). These technologies enable the development of personalized surgical and orthodontic guidelines, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment. Overall, the most significant results for the patient can only be achieved with a customized treatment plan created by an experienced orthodontic professional. To design a plan that meets the patient's specific requirements and expectations, open communication between the patient and the orthodontist is essential. Here, we propose to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS), RNAseq analysis, integrating GWAS and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), micro and small RNA, and long noncoding RNA analysis in tissues associated with deep bite malocclusion in human, and complement it by the same approaches in the collaborative cross (CC) mouse model which offer a novel platform for identifying genetic factors as a cause of deep bite in mice, and subsequently can then be translated to humans. An additional direct outcome of this study is discovering novel genetic elements to advance our knowledge of how this malocclusion phenotype develops and open the venue for early identification of patients carrying the susceptible genetic factors so that we can offer early prevention and treatment strategies, a step towards applying a personalized medicine approach.
