Why Underbite Correction Goes Beyond Aesthetic Concerns?

Fixing an underbite is not just about aesthetics; it affects your chewing function, facial harmony, and the overall health of your jaw joints.

Underbite (often called reverse buck teeth or reverse overjet) is the dental condition in which the lower teeth overlap your upper teeth. The functional issues and health-related consequences of underbite are:

  • Chewing difficulty: With an underbite, it becomes extremely difficult for you to grind and bite food. These can affect your chewing abilities, leading to a deterioration of your gut health.
  • Speech issues: Due to functional barriers of your lips and tongue with your underbite, you may experience difficulties in creating certain sounds. This leads to speech issues like lisps.
  • TMJ disorder: TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) is the one that connects your skull to the lower jaw. Underbites can cause TMJ disorder, leading to jaw stiffness and discomfort.
  • Sleep apnea: Underbites can cause sleep apnea, too. This is a disorder in which you temporarily stop breathing, leading to sleep deprivation and fatigue.

Why Do Underbites Happen? Here’s What's Going On!

Sometimes, an underbite happens when your lower jaw is smaller than your top jaw. Other times, it results from teeth alignment and positioning rather than your jaw placement or size. Some of the underlying causes of an underbite can be:

Genetics Being The Top Cause For An Underbite

Multiple studies have shown that the genetic code plays a crucial role in the occurrence of teeth alignment issues, and that includes underbites, too. Therefore, the genes you inherit influence the jaw and teeth alignment.

Prolonged Childhood Habits

  • In the early growth stage, repeated pressure on the teeth may lead to misalignment (forming an underbite). The actions include:
  • Prolonged bottle-feeding
  • Excessive use of pacifiers
  • Prolonged thumb-sucking
  • Nail biting
  • Tongue thrusting

Dental Injury And Accidents Can Lead To Underbite Teeth

An injury or accident can also cause misalignment of the jaw and teeth, leading to an underbite. These instances can lead to situations where the bones don’t align at all.

How To Fix An Underbite?

Teeth Braces

Teeth braces (or dental braces) are fixed orthodontic devices that can effectively fix an underbite. These dental braces, consisting of brackets and wires, exert continuous, mild pressure on the teeth to properly align your teeth. The only disadvantage of fixed orthodontic braces is that they aren’t removable. So, you have to take proper care of your oral health and the braces. Moreover, you have to visit a dental professional to adjust or remove them.

Teeth Aligners And Retainers

Teeth Aligners (also called clear aligners or dental aligners) are removable biocompatible plastic trays that can correct an underbite. They work just like braces and exert mild, consistent pressure on the teeth to align them into the proper position. However, you have to be highly compliant with the treatment plan for them to work.

Jaw Correction Surgery

surgery is more prevalent in adults than in children. That’s because the bones aren’t in the growth phase for adults. You might need jaw correction surgery if other less invasive options aren’t feasible. Moreover, Toothsi has its patented AMPA technology that combines Clear Aligner Treatment (CAT) with jaw correction surgery to fix moderate to highly complex underbites.

What’s The Correct Treatment For Your Underbite?

Both teeth aligners and braces have a success rate of around 88% to 90%. But aligners are way more convenient than braces, and patients are more satisfied with CAT. Even an NLM study found that teeth aligners were associated with more positive attitudes, greater patient satisfaction, and higher patient knowledge compared to teeth braces.

As these aligners for teeth are removable, they give you the ultimate freedom to enjoy the food and beverages you love. Also, you can brush and floss with ease, leading to better oral hygiene.
