What happens when you have an Underbite?

Appearance: Because underbites are so much less common than overbites, people who have them tend to be noticed more and become self-conscious as a result. A protruding chin adds to this and can lead to people with underbites being ridiculed as children.

Speech: The top and bottom teeth need to align in order to make certain sounds like “f” and “s.” When your teeth don’t line up, enunciating those letters can be difficult. This adds to the feeling of self-consciousness, especially during the adolescent and teenage years.

Smiling: A dominant lower lip leads to a droopy smile and can make it difficult to move the mouth into a “regular” smile. No matter what you try to do, your smile still looks like your bottom lip is out farther than it should be.

Chewing: A simple activity like chewing also becomes difficult when the teeth are misaligned. People with severe underbites are at an increased risk of choking because they can’t properly chew their food before swallowing.

Jaw Pain: Whether you realize it or not, your jaw is constantly working to try and align your teeth. When that doesn’t happen, it leads to increased pressure that causes headaches and jaw pain. People with underbites are also more prone to developing TMJ as a result of the added pressure on the jaw.

As you can see, underbites impact everything from daily activities like chewing and smiling to longer-term physical and mental health. Luckily, EU has know-how several treatment options available to bring the upper and lower jaw into alignment.
