An underbite is a dental misalignment where the lower front teeth protrude beyond the upper front teeth. This condition can affect both the appearance and function of the bite, potentially leading to issues like difficulty in chewing and speech. Orthodontic treatments at Happy Orthodontics, such as braces, Invisalign or other corrective measures, can be used to address underbites. Early detection and intervention are valuable for successful underbite correction.
How do you treat a underbite?
Treating an underbite often involves orthodontic methods to correct the misalignment of the lower and upper jaw. At Happy Orthodontics, our specialists may recommend braces, Invisalign, jaw expanders, or other orthodontic appliances to gradually shift teeth and align the jaws correctly. In some cases, surgery may be considered for severe underbites. Early intervention is key for effective treatment planning. Your orthodontist will create a personalized plan to address your specific underbite, aiming for improved functionality, facial symmetry, and a confident smile. Regular monitoring and adjustments contribute to a successful outcome.
