Underbite Treatment With Invisalign, Ibraces, Or Lingual Braces

If you have a mild underbite, in such case were your bottom and top front teeth tough (edge to edge bite) or your bottom teeth extend further than your front teeth than there are several options available excluding surgery.

In most cases traditional metal braces are preferred. Invisalign treatment for an underbite is becoming more and more used in practice now, because of methods that use attachments and such.

It is best to consult with several orthodontist for the best route for you.

In severe underbite cases, surgery and braces are usually needed, however we have seen some pretty severe under bites fixed with braces only.  Most orthodontist that don't specialize in this treatment will immediately refer you to a surgeon.  We recommend you get as many consultations you can until you find an orthodontist that can see your underbite resolved at least 75% with the use of braces.   While it may not come out perfect, the slightest adjustments can be huge in the appearance and functionality of your bite.

Ibraces have been used in treatment of underbites, but again you are going to have to find an orthodontist that is confident in using this method.  In many cases the doctor will use iBraces on top and then traditional metal braces on the bottom.
