Issues Associated With Underbites?

If you have an underbite, you may be wondering if it’s serious enough to spend the time and money to correct using Invisalign. An underbite occurs when the bottom teeth overlapping the top teeth. Consequently, this kind of jaw alignment is detrimental to your oral health. Additionally, underbites can create social anxiety or self-confidence issues due to the unnatural appearance of the jaw. Furthermore, this condition can cause serious dental problems. For example, underbites can cause uneven chewing, wearing down enamel and increasing the chances for tooth decay. More severe incidents can even cause Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMJ, which is very painful. If you have an underbite, contact us today to learn how Invisalign can help.

Can Invisalign Fix An Underbite?

In most cases, the answer is yes! Invisalign can fix your underbite. However, in more severe cases, proper jaw alignment is only possible with traditional metal braces. For example, underbites are usually caused by either bad jaw or teeth positioning. Underbites caused by irregular teeth positioning can easily be fixed by Invisalign.
