What is an Underbite?

An underbite is when the lower teeth are in front of your upper teeth when you close your mouth. 

As Invisalign’s website shows, an underbite is one of the many treatable cases. Of all bite problems, the overbite is the most common, affecting the majority of people. An underbite is less common, but like a pronounced overbite, it can cause oral health problems. Not to mention, you may shy away from showing the world your smile. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be the case!

Here are some of the problems an underbite may cause:

1. Problems chewing
2. Difficulty with speech
3. Wearing of tooth enamel
4. Problems with the jaw
5. Mouth and face pain

Since the jaw’s alignment is sometimes involved, your orthodontist may determine that Invisalign can be an effective part of a combined treatment. In some cases, surgery may be necessary.

Keep in mind, Invisalign works for many malocclusions, not just underbites. Whether you have an underbite, overbite, gap teeth, crowded teeth, or another case, Invisalign could be the solution.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is incredibly popular, with over eight million people using it worldwide. Patients love that the aligners are nearly invisible. Also, you can take out the aligners to eat and clean your teeth. So, you have the freedom to eat what you like as you would normally. On the other hand, you have to be careful with eating certain sticky foods with braces.

Another benefit of Invisalign is there’s no metal wire involved. Thus, there’s no wire to cause abrasions inside your mouth. Also, you won’t need as many office visits for adjustments. With braces, you sometimes need an emergency visit when wires or brackets come loose. 

In general, you’ll wear a series of 20 to 30 aligners for anywhere between 9 to 15 months. The exact time depends on your unique smile and how severe your underbite may be. However, with the latest technologies, Invisalign and braces can be faster and more comfortable than in the past.

Most teenagers love the clear alternative to braces. However, more adults are choosing Invisalign at any age. Anybody who has put off treatment for years can get started now.
