A member asked:

Can you tell me info on braces for underbite?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Sweeping question: Resolution of underbite (class iii malocclusion) in adults requires orthodontic treatment, and often orthognathic (jaw) surgery. Best advice i can give you is ask your dentist for the name of the best orthodontic specialist in your area and schedule an initial examination (often no cost) to discuss your individual set of circumstances and their solutions.

Very effective: We address these issues daily and achieve amazing results-- delivering consistently beautiful smiles! Rubber band wear is key to pull the jaw and depending on age, expansion of the upper jaw may also be part of treatment which will help push the upper teeth in front of the lower. All said, sometimes cases can be too severe to treat without surgery. Discuss treatment plans with an orthodontist
