Invisalign for Underbite: What You Need to Know
An underbite occurs when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth when the jaw is closed. This can be caused by lower jaw overgrowth, upper jaw underdevelopment, or a combination of both. Underbites affect chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and facial profile, and tend to worsen with age if left untreated.
Invisalign can correct mild to moderate dental underbites by moving the lower teeth backward and the upper teeth forward using a combination of aligners and elastic attachments. For skeletal underbites caused by jaw size discrepancy, Invisalign may be used in combination with other treatments, and your provider will advise on the best approach during your consultation.
Underbite cases require careful planning to avoid destabilising the bite during treatment. Platinum providers understand how to sequence tooth movements to maintain functional contact throughout the process, which is critical for cases involving both upper and lower arch adjustments.
Benefits of Invisalign for Underbite
Improved Chewing
Correcting the underbite restores proper contact between upper and lower teeth, making biting and chewing significantly more efficient.
Clearer Speech
Many underbite patients notice an improvement in speech clarity, particularly with "s" and "th" sounds.
Facial Profile Improvement
Correcting a dental underbite can improve the appearance of the lower face and chin profile.
Non-Surgical Option
Mild to moderate dental underbites can often be corrected with Invisalign alone, avoiding the need for jaw surgery.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign for Underbite?
You may be a candidate for Invisalign underbite correction if:
- Your lower front teeth sit in front of your upper front teeth
- You experience difficulty biting or chewing food evenly
- You have speech issues related to your bite alignment
- Your underbite is dental rather than skeletal in origin
- You want to explore a non-surgical correction option
The best way to confirm your suitability is a free consultation with a Platinum provider. The 3D iTero scan takes 5 minutes and gives your dentist a complete picture of your teeth, bite, and jaw to determine the ideal treatment approach.
The Treatment Process
Clinical Assessment
Your provider examines whether the underbite is dental, skeletal, or both, and determines if Invisalign alone is suitable.
Dual Arch Planning
ClinCheck plans coordinated upper and lower tooth movements, often using Class III elastic attachments.
Aligner Treatment
You wear aligners with precision-cut hooks for elastics, gradually shifting the bite into correct alignment.
Monitoring and Retention
Regular check-ups ensure both arches are moving as planned. Retainers hold the final corrected position.
