Struggling With an Underbite?

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend forward of the upper front teeth. In addition to impacting the appearance of an individual, this type of misalignment could lead to further dental complications.

Let’s delve into the problems caused by underbite teeth in more detail:

Jaw Pain

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth, creating an imbalanced bite. This misalignment often leads to:

Jaw strain and muscle fatigue.

Clicking or popping sounds when you open your mouth.

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders leading to chronic headaches and jaw pain.

Chewing Difficulty

An underbite leads to chewing difficulty, causing:

Issues with digestion

Difficulty in speaking and causing a certain lisp, making it harder to pronounce certain words.

Excessive stress or strain on the jaw during meals.

Aesthetic Concerns

An underbite can affect more than your oral health—it can impact how you feel about your appearance:

A visibly unbalanced bite can distort your facial symmetry.

Smile alignment issues may make you feel self-conscious in social or professional settings.

Many people with misalignments avoid smiling fully or showing their teeth in photos.

Thankfully, clear aligners offer a solution to these issues. By gradually straightening your teeth, clear aligners can improve your oral hygiene, reduce the risk of dental problems, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile.

What Are the Causes of Underbite Teeth?

Underbite teeth can be the cause of various factors, including:

Genetics

Inherited jaw shapes or tooth alignment can cause an underbite.

Childhood Habits

Prolonged usage of pacifier and thumb sucking can lead to underbite.

Missing Teeth

An early loss of baby teeth or eruption can result in misalignments like an underbite.

Jaw Development

Improper tongue posture can lead to impacted jaw development.

How to Fix Underbite With Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners offer an effective solution for underbite teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners gradually shift your teeth to optimal positions using a series of custom-made, removable aligners.

Here's how to fix underbite with Smilepath clear aligners:

Benefits of Clear Aligners Over Other Orthodontic Treatments

Clear aligners provide several advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments like metal braces:

Compare Plans

Invisible Solution

Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet option. You can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.

Comfortable Fit

Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, clear aligners are designed for comfort. They don't have metal brackets or wires that can irritate your gums and cheeks.

Removable

Clear aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This means no food restrictions and better oral hygiene compared to metal braces.

Convenience

Unlike metal braces, which require frequent adjustments, clear aligners come with a series of aligners that you switch out every few weeks, reducing the number of dental visits needed.

Custom-Made

Each set of clear aligners is tailor-made to fit your teeth perfectly, providing a more personalized treatment experience.
