Underbite, kindly explained
What is an underbite — and how to fix it comfortably
If you have an underbite, there's plenty you can do to bring out a better smile while improving your overall health. Some underbites don't cause problems — but if your case is more severe, underbite correction with a treatment such as Invisalign clear aligners can help you move forward with confidence.
An underbite is when you close your mouth and the lower jaw sits forward of the upper teeth. It's one type of malocclusion — others include overbites, crossbites, gap teeth (diastema), crooked or crowded teeth, and overlapping teeth. Left unchecked, an underbite can quietly stress the jaw and wear the teeth down.
With Invisalign For Underbite Teeth, treatment is virtually pain-free, you don't need to change how you eat, and your speech isn't affected. All our Invisalign dentists in Shepperton are officially accredited — with an unlimited guarantee on every aligner.

Underbite causes & symptoms
What causes an underbite
Underbites usually come from a mismatch between how the upper and lower jaws grow, but childhood habits and missing teeth can play a part too. Whatever the cause, an underbite won't reverse on its own — professional advice is the safest first step.
- Genetic jaw shape or size mismatch
- Overdeveloped lower jaw growth
- Underdeveloped upper jaw
- Prolonged thumb or finger sucking in childhood
- Extended dummy use beyond age three
- Long-term bottle feeding in early years
- Tongue thrusting habits
- Missing or extracted upper teeth
- Traumatic injury to the jaw
- Untreated crowding pushing teeth out of line
Why underbite correction matters
Top 8 reasons to fix an underbite
As well as transforming a protruding lower jaw into a balanced smile, underbite correction may prevent a range of health and dental problems down the line.
Eases jaw strain, tension headaches and neck aches.
Reduces uneven wear on front and back teeth.
Makes chewing and biting food more comfortable.
Can improve speech clarity where the bite affects it.
Protects gums from trauma linked to a misaligned bite.
Softens a protruding lower jaw for a balanced profile.
Boosts smile confidence in photos and social settings.
Early correction often means simpler, shorter treatment.

Braces vs Invisalign
Underbite correction options for teens & adults
- Invisalign
- Clear, custom-made aligners changed every ~2 weeks — virtually invisible and removable.
- Fixed braces
- Metal or ceramic brackets and wires apply pressure to reposition teeth over time.
- Tooth extraction
- Occasionally used alongside aligners to relieve crowding in dental underbite cases.
- Jaw surgery
- Reserved for severe skeletal underbites — repositions the lower or upper jaw.
- Cost
- Invisalign is often comparable to fixed braces, with flexible 0% finance available.
- Comfort
- Smooth aligners deliver gradual movement with less pain than traditional braces.
- Oral hygiene
- Aligners lift out so brushing and flossing stay simple throughout treatment.
