Hi there, looks like someone has confused you too much. Deep bite is a dental term which indicates that maxillary teeth are completely overlapping and hiding the mandibular teeth.. if so you can't have a maxillary discrepancy. Hence please take a lateral Cephalogram and consult an orthodontist before arriving at mis-interpretations, which might mis-direct your treatment outcome.
Next Steps
Visit an orthodontist with a lateral cephalogram
Health Tips
Take lateral cephalogram x-ray first.

Maxilla surgeries are possible and advancement can be done.
But it needs to be evaluated on a radiograph and a clinical examination whether a surgery is required for the correction or it can be managed with only orthodontics.
Next Steps
Visit a orthodontist or a oral and maxillofacial Surgeon

Hi... it's difficult to have a deep bite with your maxilla (upper jaw bone) behind the lower one . So in case u actually don't have a deep bite and have your maxillary teeth behind the lower ones .... orthodontic treatment with braces with or without surgery might help.... but a detailed evaluation with X-rays and clinical examination is necessary to formulate a correct treatment plan ... hope this helps. Meet an oral & Maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist in your area to get the correct treatment

At your age bringing the maxilla forward may not be possible as bone changes are not possible when growth has been completed unless surgical treatment is done. Only possibility is to move your upper front teeth forward with braces. Any bite issues can be corrected during treatment
