What Is an Underbite?
An underbite occurs when your lower front teeth sit in front of your upper front teeth when you close your mouth. Instead of your upper teeth slightly overlapping the lower teeth (which is normal), it's the other way around. Sometimes it can be subtle (a tooth or two) but other times it's more pronounced, affecting your profile and the way your jaw sits. An underbite isn't just a cosmetic concern, it can make biting and chewing less efficient, contribute to uneven tooth wear, and put extra strain on your jaw joints.

Can Clear Aligners Fix an Underbite?
Yes, clear aligners can fix an underbite
Especially when the underbite is caused by tooth position rather than jaw structure. Clear aligners work by gradually shifting your teeth into better alignment, repositioning the lower teeth back and guiding upper teeth forward where needed. For underbites where the lower teeth have moved forward or the upper teeth have tilted back, aligners can reposition them so your bite comes together properly, creating a more balanced and functional smile.
How Straights Can Help with Underbite
Straights aligners carefully reposition teeth to improve bite alignment, helping lower teeth sit properly behind upper teeth for better function and appearance.
