Fifteen cases of patients with incisal Angel's Class II obserbite were orthodontically treated with bite plane and analysed with cephalometric radiograph. The results showed that bite plane can correct deep overbite rapidly (within 6 months) and effectively. The mechanism of bite plane was to raise the posterior teeth (1.1 mm) and to lower the anterior teeth (0.8 mm).
