Invisalign for Underbites

When you close your mouth, your upper teeth should be in front of your lower teeth. With an underbite, the opposite is true, so your lower teeth close in front of your upper teeth. It’s a problem that is often due to the lower jaw being incorrectly positioned, so it is too far forward.

Invisalign aligners can correct some underbites. Usually, the lower teeth can be moved back with Invisalign aligners, so they sit properly behind the front teeth. If an underbite is especially severe, we may suggest Invisalign treatment in combination with oral surgery to reposition the lower jaw.
