When you bite into a sandwich, your front teeth function as wedges by concentrating the force of your bite on a small area. This wedge shape allows the teeth to penetrate the food more easily, breaking it apart with less effort. Additionally, the sharp edges of the incisors help slice through the ingredients, making the initial bite smoother and more effective. Overall, this design enhances the efficiency of eating.

Difference between collapsed bite closed bite deep bite and overbite?

A collapsed bite refers to a situation where the upper and lower teeth have lost vertical dimension, often due to wear or shifting. A closed bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth meet too closely, limiting the mouth's opening. A deep bite is characterized by the upper front teeth overlapping significantly over the lower front teeth, while an overbite is when the upper teeth extend over the lower teeth, but not necessarily as severely as in a deep bite. Each condition affects dental function and aesthetics differently, often requiring orthodontic intervention.
