UnderbiteWhat is...?(Crossbite)

Class 3 malocclusion develops through the following process.

Mandibular overgrowth → Underbite → Underbite and asymmetry

If the skeletal issue is not severe, orthodontic treatment can

By correcting an underbite or an asymmetric bite with orthodontic treatment

Your facial appearance may change, and results vary from person to person.

The main types of bite problems treated with orthodontics include cases where the upper jaw protrudes and the lower jaw recedes, and the reverse, where the lower jaw protrudes and the upper jaw recedes. When the upper jaw protrudes In less severe cases, orthodontic treatment may be done by moving the upper teeth backward without surgery. When teeth are removed and the front teeth are moved appropriately into the spaces, the bone around the roots of the front teeth also moves backward. This can improve your facial profile, overall appearance, and jaw relationship. However, When the lower jaw protrudesTreatment is not easy because of the direction in which the jaw grows. In this case, if treatment is done in the same way as for the upper jaw, the tip of the jaw will not move back with it, which can lead to various side effects. Ultimately, jaw surgery on both jaws or one jaw is performed to correct the imbalance in jawbone position.

At Perfect Dental Clinic, we recommend treatment options through a non-surgical orthodontics program designed to expand the range of cases that can be treated with orthodontics without surgery.An appliance designed for the growth pattern associated with an overgrown lower jaw corrects the upper and lower jaws at the same time to improve the alignment of teeth in an underbite. The same principle applies when only one side of the lower teeth or jaw grows forward. This can cause the dental midline to shift and the teeth to misalign, resulting in asymmetry. This can also be improved using specialized appliances and miniscrews.
