Orthodontics
Overbite / underbite correction
Correction of a bite misalignment where the upper or lower jaw/teeth don't meet properly.
Common symptoms
- Upper teeth significantly overlapping lower teeth (overbite)
- Lower teeth extending past upper teeth (underbite)
- Difficulty chewing or jaw discomfort
What it involves
Treatment ranges from braces alone to a combination of braces and jaw-growth appliances, depending on severity and age.
What to expect
Severe cases may need longer treatment or, in adulthood, surgical correction alongside orthodontics.
