“You shouldn't use aligners for Deep Bite cases”. FALSE!

I was joined by the Taheri brothers (kinda like the Mario Brothers, except they're not Italian Plumbers but rather British-Iranian Orthodontists) to unravel the intricacies of utilizing aligners and specific protocols for deep bite correction.

Jaz's Introduction: Deep bites are really difficult to correct with aligners, right? Well, brothers and orthodontists Dr. Damon Taheri and Dr. Ramtin Tehari today on the podcast will be discussing how we can use specific protocols using aligners to improve the predictability of your deep bite corrections.

[Jaz]I always thought that deep bite, if it's super deep bite you're better off going for fixed appliances because aligners will struggle with deep bite correction.

But speaking to the Taheri brothers showed me that actually, you can do a lot when it comes to deep bite with aligners. Which attachments should you use and when? How should you stage your deep bite correction? And what about bite ramps? What are they? Why are they so effective in deep bite correction? And why you should use them with care?

Hello Protruserati, I'm Jaz Gulati and you're listening to your favorite dental podcast. Thank you for joining me again. If you're new, welcome to the podcast. You picked an interesting one, a very orthodontics based one. I cover all sorts of dentistry over the last four years or so. So do check out our backlog of episodes.

Protrusive Dental PearlNow, every main episode, I give you a Protrusive Dental Pearl. Today's dental pearl is all about how I record my clinical videos. Now, recently on YouTube, I published a video about how to record awesome clinical videos using a loop mounted camera. So I'll put the show links for that one below. But also if you search how to record awesome clinical dental videos, it will come up.

Essentially It's using something called an OXO 4K. I think it's a spanish company but they have made the best camera that I have seen. I've tried a few and I've also spoken to a few very experienced colleagues. And they have suggested that OXO was the best and i've been using it for over 18 months now And you can see from the content that I post some of the videos are really crisp and the point of view footage that you get especially on some of the videos I have on the Protrusive app. That's all powered by the OXO.

So if you're looking about how you can use videography in dentistry, that's why it's shining a light on the review I did recently. Now let's join the Taheri brothers and I'll catch you in the outro.

Main Episode:So Damon and Ramtin Taheri, welcome to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. Great to have you both on. How are you both?

[Damon]Good, Jaz. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having us. First of all,
