Despite its high prevalence and significant functional and esthetic implications, the biological mechanisms underlying deep bite development and progression remain only partially understood.
This comprehensive review bridges the gap between experimental research and clinical orthodontics by integrating evidence from animal models with findings from human subjects.
By exploring craniofacial growth patterns, occlusal dynamics, and adaptive responses of the stomatognathic system, the article provides a translational perspective that enhances our understanding of deep bite etiology.

Particular attention is given to how insights from controlled animal studies can inform diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term stability in human orthodontic patients.
Through a multidisciplinary lens, this work offers clinicians and researchers a deeper appreciation of the biological and biomechanical factors that govern deep bite malocclusion, supporting more predictable and individualized treatment strategies in modern orthodontic practice.
