Underbite Correction EXPLAINED (causes & treatments)

By Regency Dental Group Includes video

Let's talk about UNDERBITES ...including causes and treatment! An underbite is a physical characteristic where the front lower teeth set out further than — or even overlap — the front upper teeth. Typically, you want to have an extremely slight, natural overbite where the upper front teeth barely overlap the lower front teeth. But when it’s the other way around — in the case of an underbite — it can lead to a host of complications. Understanding underbite causes and how to correct an underbite can help you (or your child) find relief.
