Underbite Treatment

An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth extend beyond the upper front teeth. It is vital to address this issue as early as 6 years old, as the bone is more adaptable at this young age, significantly reducing the likelihood of needing surgery. Early intervention, taking advantage of growth phases, is ideal to prevent the facial collapse that can make you look older than you are. Dr. Ammar is dedicated to achieving facial harmony by considering the smile and the surrounding muscles. While untreated underbites in early life can result in more complicated treatments, including potential jaw surgery, it is crucial to explore treatment options at any age. With the right mix of patient commitment and medical expertise, we aim to craft the perfect smile for you without resorting to surgery.
