Treatment Options for Underbite Correction
At The Orem Orthodontist Group, we offer a range of effective underbite correction treatments:
- Braces: Traditional braces are a common treatment for underbites. They use brackets, wires, and elastics to gradually move the teeth into the correct position.
- Clear Aligners: Invisalign and other clear aligners offer a discreet way to correct underbites, using a series of custom-made, removable aligners.
- Jaw Surgery: In severe cases, corrective jaw surgery might be necessary. This surgery repositions the jawbone to achieve proper occlusion and improve facial aesthetics.
- Orthodontic Appliances: Specialized devices such as palatal expanders or chin straps can assist in correcting the alignment of the jaw and teeth.

Read on GoogleUnderbite Correction FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about underbite correction at The Orem Orthodontist Group. We hope this FAQ section helps address any concerns you may have.
What causes an underbite?
An underbite is typically caused by hereditary factors, meaning it runs in families. It can also result from developmental issues, such as disproportionate jaw growth, childhood habits like thumb sucking, or other dental conditions.
What are the treatment options for correcting an underbite?
Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the underbite and the age of the patient. These options can include braces, clear aligners like Invisalign, growth modification devices, or even jaw surgery in severe cases. Our orthodontists will recommend the best treatment for your specific needs.
Is underbite correction treatment painful?
Most patients experience some discomfort during orthodontic treatment, especially when appliances are first applied or adjusted. However, this discomfort is usually temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team strives to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.
How long does underbite correction take?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the chosen method and severity of the underbite. On average, correction can take anywhere from several months to a few years. Our orthodontists will provide a personalized treatment plan with an estimated timeline.
Is there an age limit for underbite correction?
There is no strict age limit for underbite correction. While early treatment in childhood can be more effective because of ongoing jaw development, many adults also achieve successful results. Our orthodontists are experienced in treating patients of all ages.
Will I need to wear a retainer after underbite correction?
Yes, wearing a retainer is a crucial part of maintaining the results of your underbite correction. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions and prevent any relapse. The orthodontist will provide you with detailed instructions on retainer use.
