Underbite
An underbite occurs when the lower teeth and jaw protrude in front of the upper teeth.
A variety of factors can cause an underbite, including:
- Genetics
- Undergrowth of the upper jaw
- Overgrowth of the lower jaw
- Missing teeth
- Crowded teeth
When it comes to underbites in children, teens and young adults, early diagnosis and treatment planning are important. Our doctors’ years of monitoring growth and development help them advise patients on the right time to begin underbite correction and create tailored treatment plans unique to each individual patient.
