Hi guys, I had class lll underbite, I started off wearing a Carriere Motion Appliance with elastics. After 5 months I transitioned to metal braces with elastics. I'm almost finished my 2 year orthodontic treatment and I'm delighted with the results. No more underbite. I now have a healthy normal bite and no more covering my smile. Go for it, it has been the best decision I have made 😀
You should also address what caused it, say your tongue thrusting, incorrect tongue posture + function, tongue ties, etc otherwise it may relapse. It's not simply just from genetics.
@@tapsubscribe It will of course relapse if I am irresponsible about aftercare as teeth shift back to their original position, but I will be fitted with a permanent retainer at the end of treatment plus retainers I will need to wear regularly. This will keep everything in place if worn correctly.
I have an underbite and I hate it so much! I want to fix it. I’m booked in for a consolation with an orthodontist. I hope braces and maybe teeth extractions can help me correct my bite as I don’t want jaw line surgery and I don’t feel it’s bad enough to have it. Many dentist keep telling me jaw line surgery but I don’t want to have it.
@@WhoisSam_ dude literally me the wisdom teeth extraction was bad enough I cant go months with out moving my jaw, I just can’t I hope they are lying and braces can fix my underbite.
OMG NO !!! fuck those disgusting bullies, i have an underbite too n im sure ur beautiful !!! ignore them theyre not worth it theyre just jealous n have internal issues they didnt deal with so theyre taking it out on u
I have it too, but in my elementary days I don't feel bad about it ( even though my nickname in school is chin ) but when i go to highschool it became to much for me, some of my friend's joke bought me disappointment to my face, when she grab a ruler and ask how long is it... Hahahhaha i really want to have an Orthodox doctor and fix my teeth and chin and meet that friend in the future. (But sadly I have to graduate and make money lol )
in my situation i had already finished my orthodontic treatment but my top teeth was basic laying incredibly slanted over my bottom teeth instead of being straight behind it. i’m now getting it fixed with elastics so alls good but it was a little weird that they never caught onto it the first time around
My teeth are stacked, so sometimes laying on my stomach or resting my jaw in general my jaws hurt so much and my last dentist visit I was told that I will be needing braces soon or my teeth will start shifting and of course they did. My front teeth aren’t as straight, but I do have braces now. I’ve had them for about a good month so I’m on the road to correcting my smile which I’m thankful for!!
I have a moderate underbite. I already have one tooth extraction and two more in the next appointment. Although they put braces first before the extraction
Actually, you need to look on your jaw too. There are mild underbite but at the same time the jaw is not correct. Sorry for my bad English. Idk how to explain
@@wizardfairy6878 what does the jaw not being corrected mean? i have a mild underbite, even less than the first guy, my teeth basically stand straight on top of each other, but I hate the way it ruins my side profile.

Braces will help to fix your bite but they can’t change the bones of your face. If you’re wanting facial change it is possible with orthognathic jaw surgery. We treat some patients who have severe underbites with jaw surgery so it is an option

Great question - the cost of braces will vary quite a bit from one location to the next. It would be a good idea to get a consultation with an orthodontist near you to learn more about pricing.

I just got braces it’s been about two months and no one told me it’ll get worse before it gets better.. well at least with my teeth. I do have both an Open bite and an underbite. Hated my teeth all throughout my teens years and even adult years. So happy to finally get them fixed at age 30!
Not sure if you are still responding to comments, but I hope so! I have a class 3 bite now with spacing on top row, bottom row is fine (no crowding or spacing). Im 31 now. 5 years ago I got consults for braces and none of them mention jaw surgery nor removing teeth on the bottom. This year, I have had 4 consults and they all saying i will develop an underbite with the braces and will need to either do jaw surgery or remove 2 teeth on the bottom. I don’t understand why i cant just get braces with elastics. I don’t want surgery nor do I want to remove teeth.
I just got 2 bottom teeth removed for underbite and I promise you it is such an easy procedure. I was totally awake w/ novacaine it took 10 minutes tops and they were sore the rest of the day but I could still eat soft foods and the pain was not bad at all. I went back to eating most food barring crunchy stuff the next day and by now 5 days later gums are completely closed up. I totally recommend. They even put numbing cream so u don’t feel the novacaine shots.
My condition is a tad bit less worse. My lower teeth and my upper teeth are now touching when i really try. It think it's because of the exercise i was doing. I watched a video of his dream and it helped me. In just 2 days of doing the told exercise my teeth and jaw made a huge difference. It can also fix your posture. My underbite isn't that severe, but when i eat or chew, i bite on my gum, i can't eat well:( but i don't have any teeth coming out from my gums. But i hope the his dream video helps you all! Just be regular with the exercise! It may not be that effective for those with severe underbites.
My orthodontist said my jaw isn’t fully formed and I have to wait till it is they said I might have to do an operation to take out teeth but I have more gaps in my teeth and only have abit of mild overcrowding, also my bottom set of teeth are fine there are no crowding or gaps btw I have mild overbite
I started my treatment today, I started with my upper teeth, i haven't finished putting all the things for the braces its will tale about 3 days 30 to 50 min per day, and I'll stay a while with only top braces and after get my jaw done too, as for elastics i don't know since i forgot to ask, please do tell me if this is normal or not as I'm a little bit confused about the procedure

I have mild underbite, I'm wearing braces for 16 months now, currently with bands/elastics,I'm seeing a very slow progress but comparing my teeth from few years back,I did not regret the pain and the patience I have been exerting.
Hello doc, my teeth align with each other's and have no problems but my front jaw is longer and I don't know why. It makes my face a little bit disproportionate. Is it the teeth or my jaw specifically?
Im gonna get braces as soon as possible. However, my lower jaw is kinda big. Im curious that will it change the size of my chin or is it only appropriate for getting proper bite? or ill probably get surgery..
My 12 years old had an underbite and was wearing the face gear 6.5 months ago. Today the orthodontist said he can stop wearing the face gear. I’m worried that it has turn into an overbite now. Did the orthodontist advice too late to stop? Please let me know if his lower jaw will still growing and it be reduce the overbite? The orthodontist also said he needed to extract 2 top and 2 bottom. But he has only 12 teeth on the top and 13 on the bottom so it’s not like it’s overcrowding. Does he have to get tooth extraction?
I am not sure about mine,i have a bad underbite but i do not have it like the last,mine looks normal and its very close to my front teeth.I dont know if braces will help but i dont think i need surgery at all!
In my case its different... usually my button and upper teeth touches each other but while eating or chewing i have to bring lower teeth out side from upper teeth.. did i need braces or anything?
@@sarang143natsumi i started my process in August of 2020 and since last month I’ve been told to only wear my elastics. But yes it has changed a lot and is becoming mild than before. You just have to keep wearing the headgear and elastics as told for x amount of hours. Make sure you don’t skip days.
@@jujufromtheo I'm glad it's working for you. I didn't know headgear can work on adults. Don't think that would help me anyway. I think surgery is my only option
@@PremierOrthodontics could you let me know which one works best? My son who is 11.5 years old also has underbite. One ortho said he will try elastic for 6 months but if not working, he will try headgear. Another ortho said to start headgear right away. Which one should I go with?
I have braces with an edge to edge/slight underbite bite right now. My western dental ortho put elastics on in the class 3 underbite configuration, however its been 4 weeks and I see ZERO change after wearing my elastics religiously every day. when should I expect to see any change?
It kind of depends. In some cases you will get them from day 1 - other times you may need to wait a couple of months to get your teeth aligned a bit before starting rubber bands. In either case - once you're doctor asks you to wear your bands, wear them like a champion and you will be amazed at how quickly your bite get corrected!
Hi. I just want to ask how long did it take to get fine? Because I'm currently in that process and kinda worried since I am noticing a gap on my front teeth.
I have got moderate one, I will use Invisalign treatment but my dentist said my chin and jawline may not change. I am afraid of them right now. I want to ask whether my jawline will change?
2:06 This is most likely my case. I even also had a snuggle tooth which I wish I could have back. I don't want to have a prominent chin after these braces. How do I avoid it doc?
I have a 5mm underbite the mandibular front teeth inclinated backward and became 4mm higher than the rest while the maxilary teeths are near normal when i close my mouth the mandibular teeths completely cover the maxilary i want to fix the problem without surgery . My underbite is not visible but it ruins my self confidence i feel weird
My 6 year old has cross bite teeth his bottom adult teeth are over lapping his front baby teeth. We are getting a referal to an orthodontist this week, but i am so worried i hope he doesnt have severe jaw line problems to under go surgery. Just braces
Do I have an underbite? When my lower jaw is relaxed, bottom teeth stick out in front of upper teeth. When I speak I notice lower teeth teeth protruding out in front of my upper teeth. I can physically pull back lower jaw behind upper teeth to form a proper bite but it’s not comfortable and when I chew it’s wearing the back of my front teeth out. It effects my speech enunciation because there’s tension when I force my lower teeth behind my upper teeth. Do I have an underbite? The fact that “I can” attain a proper bite with effort eliminate possibility of underbite and it’s something else? Thank you!
I think I have a mild underbite but then why do orthodontists that I visited say I need a double jaw surgery when this video says a mild underbite can be corrected with just elastics and braces. Is a jaw surgery just a way for them to profit?
My daughter is 7years old and she has underbite. Its really heart breaking. Is it too early to start treat her underbite now? I dont think she cant handle the headgear this age.
Excuse me.I touch orthodontics at my first time.Recently, I found a video the root of incisor slipped out the bone of arch. How to prevent this while put on bracket with rubber band? In underbites condition.
I had over bite and I had braces at the age of 18, but after few years by teeth started moving and now my upper 2 teeth and lower 2 teeth touch… dentist lie… I should correct them again
I have underbites too and already done with my braces. I'm currently using my retainers, how long should I wear my retainer? The secretary of my doctor didn't contact me for more than a year, I don't know if it's because of the pandemic or just because my braces are already done.
Hi,i have noticed underbite in my 18month old son he is growing his premolars and his lower incisors are sticking out quite a bit. Is it too early to determine if he will have underbite and is there anything that can be done early before it he gets older? Thank you.
Hi David, most kids can begin early orthodontist tic treatment around 6 or 7 if the doctor feels it will be helpful to start early. At 18 months there’s not much to be done. Your child still has a lot of developing to do and there’s still lots of growth that will happen. For now, you don’t need to worry too much. Wait until your child is closer to 6 or 7 and see about getting a consultation with an orthodontist. 👍
It’s possible. Without seeing your teeth it’s hard to say for sure. Getting a consultation with an orthodontist will be the best next step to find out the best treatment plan for you specifically. Good luck 👍
I had a cross bite/under bite too. I had this done and didn’t have to get jaw surgery! I vlogged the process. It’s on my channel, you can check it out if u want!
Most of the time, yes! It depends on how severe the class III skeletal malocclusion is. If you watch our video, the third patient shown was too severe to be treated with extractions along - that specific patient required jaw surgery. But probably 90% of class III patients can be successfully treated without jaw surgery using braces or sometimes braces with extractions.
I had a slight underbite like your 1st patient . Currently 2 years into my braces. But my concern is that I have a posterior open bite and my ortho says there’s no solution to close the bite? Elastics can’t solve this?
Most of the time it will take about two years for braces with underbite correction. It may take more or less than 24 months depending on the severity of your case. Your orthodontist should be able to give you a more accurate estimate
@@PremierOrthodontics thanks for your reply. I had my braces since 9/2017 and im still wearing it now. So frustrating that its taking ages to have it done. My dentist then advised that it will take another year before they can finally take it off...
@@mlee.a9002 Btw, how is your bite now? Because I also have moderate underbite and its my 3rd month on braces. I'm curious how long does it take to have progress..
I have a strong underbite and using rubber bands right now, is this going yo send my chin back? Or just my teeth, i fear My chin gets smaller with this
How long does it take to recover from the surgery. And How long should i wear the braces. And after the surgery should i wear braces with or without elastics
The timeline usually goes something like this: 1. Braces for 12-18 months to prepare for jaw surgery 2. Jaw surgery with a short stay in hospital (sometimes 1-2 days) 3. Jaw surgery recovery for 1-2 months eating soft foods 4. Continue braces for six months to fine tune and detail the teeth and bite. You will likely be wearing rubber bands with the braces after surgery to help detail and stabilize the bite. Hope that helps! 👍
Can someone please answer my question I am desperate and depressed these days hoping not to do the surgery. Can a brace fix your mild underbite without surgery? I am 15 years old male Edit: Is it okay not to do underbite surgery. Will it be okay for me?
hi! I ever did braces for underbite in the past and it was fine, and after years the lower teeths start to move to the front again, what do you think I should do? my upper teeth is still in front, but just by a bit. Should I do braces again? or leave it be? and if I do braces again, will this happen again? does the teeth will stop moving? I will be 17 this year.
It sounds like you may have had some shifting of your teeth which happens sometimes. It may be due to a little bit of growth of your lower jaw, or because retainers weren't worn or didn't fit quite right. In either case, you can definitely get braces again and get it corrected. You may consider getting a permanent retainer plus a removable retainer this time to be sure you don't get any shifting again after treatment. I would visit your orthodontist, they should be able to recommend a good plan that will help get everything corrected.
My doctor told me the best time to get braces would be in your 20’s to 30’s if you have a mild underbite due to your lower jaw continuously growing at that time.
This is the same thing that happened to me. I had braces for four years and I got them taken off near the end of 2020. Now I’ve been having bad pain and I have to see a orthodontist again because I have a underbite again.
Hi, at first I don’t have underbite. But I got braces on my upper teeth only. So it cause my upper teeth stop growing, but my under teeth keep growing, and now I have an underbite. Can it fix by braces and elastic to pull my under teeth back to its place and make the underbite gone? Thank you so much, have a nice day!

i may be wrong but, braces mostly dont cause tmj rather people get braces for getting rid of tmj
I also have an underbite. I hope braces and elastics will fix it.
Yeah i have also got underbite...hope braces will fix it...
Hi guys, I had class lll underbite, I started off wearing a Carriere Motion Appliance with elastics. After 5 months I transitioned to metal braces with elastics. I'm almost finished my 2 year orthodontic treatment and I'm delighted with the results. No more underbite. I now have a healthy normal bite and no more covering my smile. Go for it, it has been the best decision I have made 😀
I have mild underbite, I'm wearing braces for 16 months now, currently with bands/elastics,I'm seeing a very slow progress but comparing my teeth from few years back,I did not regret the pain and the patience I have been exerting.
Good to know it's working on you guys. I still don't have braces now, I'm still saving money so I could afford it LOL.

Hello doc, my teeth align with each other's and have no problems but my front jaw is longer and I don't know why. It makes my face a little bit disproportionate. Is it the teeth or my jaw specifically?
Im gonna get braces as soon as possible. However, my lower jaw is kinda big. Im curious that will it change the size of my chin or is it only appropriate for getting proper bite? or ill probably get surgery..
My 12 years old had an underbite and was wearing the face gear 6.5 months ago. Today the orthodontist said he can stop wearing the face gear. I’m worried that it has turn into an overbite now. Did the orthodontist advice too late to stop? Please let me know if his lower jaw will still growing and it be reduce the overbite? The orthodontist also said he needed to extract 2 top and 2 bottom. But he has only 12 teeth on the top and 13 on the bottom so it’s not like it’s overcrowding. Does he have to get tooth extraction?
I am not sure about mine,i have a bad underbite but i do not have it like the last,mine looks normal and its very close to my front teeth.I dont know if braces will help but i dont think i need surgery at all!
I have a moderate underbite and I just got my braces, time to wait a while and see how my teeth turn out.
Best of luck!
In my case its different... usually my button and upper teeth touches each other but while eating or chewing i have to bring lower teeth out side from upper teeth.. did i need braces or anything?
I’ve been using headgear and elastics to fix mine. Waiting to get my braces on soon
Headgear works for underbites too! We didn't cover EVERY appliance that is used for underbites, but headgear is another tool that can work well.
How's it going for you? Is your underbite mild?
@@sarang143natsumi i started my process in August of 2020 and since last month I’ve been told to only wear my elastics. But yes it has changed a lot and is becoming mild than before. You just have to keep wearing the headgear and elastics as told for x amount of hours. Make sure you don’t skip days.
@@jujufromtheo I'm glad it's working for you. I didn't know headgear can work on adults. Don't think that would help me anyway. I think surgery is my only option
@@PremierOrthodontics could you let me know which one works best? My son who is 11.5 years old also has underbite. One ortho said he will try elastic for 6 months but if not working, he will try headgear. Another ortho said to start headgear right away. Which one should I go with?
I have a mild one, but my dentist says braces aren’t and option so now I’m confused
I have braces with an edge to edge/slight underbite bite right now. My western dental ortho put elastics on in the class 3 underbite configuration, however its been 4 weeks and I see ZERO change after wearing my elastics religiously every day. when should I expect to see any change?
i’m gonna get a full set of braces soon will i get elastics right away or with i have to wait until my teeth move
It kind of depends. In some cases you will get them from day 1 - other times you may need to wait a couple of months to get your teeth aligned a bit before starting rubber bands.
In either case - once you're doctor asks you to wear your bands, wear them like a champion and you will be amazed at how quickly your bite get corrected!
Hi i have an underbite…please let me know if braces can fix this?? Surgery is something i am not willing to go fro?
For my under bite I had braces but the process of it made a huge gap between my two front teeth but it ended up fine
Hi. I just want to ask how long did it take to get fine? Because I'm currently in that process and kinda worried since I am noticing a gap on my front teeth.
I have got moderate one, I will use Invisalign treatment but my dentist said my chin and jawline may not change. I am afraid of them right now. I want to ask whether my jawline will change?
I think I have the mild underbite, how long does it take to fix it please?
Hey! can braces fix underbite without the rubber band?
I have the First one, but I can put the bottom of my tooth on the back ofy up. tooth
How long does it take for treatment of under bite
2:06 This is most likely my case. I even also had a snuggle tooth which I wish I could have back. I don't want to have a prominent chin after these braces. How do I avoid it doc?
If you’re wanting to change your chin or jaw then you may need to look at some type of surgical procedure.
I have a 5mm underbite the mandibular front teeth inclinated backward and became 4mm higher than the rest while the maxilary teeths are near normal when i close my mouth the mandibular teeths completely cover the maxilary i want to fix the problem without surgery . My underbite is not visible but it ruins my self confidence i feel weird
My 6 year old has cross bite teeth his bottom adult teeth are over lapping his front baby teeth. We are getting a referal to an orthodontist this week, but i am so worried i hope he doesnt have severe jaw line problems to under go surgery. Just braces
I have an underbite and i am 17 years old so can braces fix my underbite and how many times can braces take to fix an underbite ?
I’m so happy I don’t need surgery all I need is braces and bands😁😁😁
I think mine is a moderate
This gave me hope I won't need the surgery
My so was Told he has class 3 and 2mm separation would surgery be needed. Thinking of braces and bands to help
Do I have an underbite? When my lower jaw is relaxed, bottom teeth stick out in front of upper teeth. When I speak I notice lower teeth teeth protruding out in front of my upper teeth. I can physically pull back lower jaw behind upper teeth to form a proper bite but it’s not comfortable and when I chew it’s wearing the back of my front teeth out. It effects my speech enunciation because there’s tension when I force my lower teeth behind my upper teeth. Do I have an underbite? The fact that “I can” attain a proper bite with effort eliminate possibility of underbite and it’s something else? Thank you!
I think I have a mild underbite but then why do orthodontists that I visited say I need a double jaw surgery when this video says a mild underbite can be corrected with just elastics and braces. Is a jaw surgery just a way for them to profit?
My daughter is 7years old and she has underbite. Its really heart breaking. Is it too early to start treat her underbite now? I dont think she cant handle the headgear this age.
Excuse me.I touch orthodontics at my first time.Recently, I found a video the root of incisor slipped out the bone of arch. How to prevent this while put on bracket with rubber band? In underbites condition.
Hi doc I'm in bahrain!
I am a cleft patient and was told I need braces+alveolar repair+Sarpe+maxillary advancement to correct my bite & teeth :( I am 36 y/o.
It's that true
How much time it will take to correct my underbite i also have underbite problem
why does my dentist make me wear this white thing, on my teeth to bite down called bite block? is that really effective and neccessary?
What if my underbite covers my front teeth completely?
Mine is severe. Doctor asked to me go for jaw surgery. Hope it will go well.
Any luck?
I had over bite and I had braces at the age of 18, but after few years by teeth started moving and now my upper 2 teeth and lower 2 teeth touch… dentist lie… I should correct them again
I have underbites too and already done with my braces. I'm currently using my retainers, how long should I wear my retainer? The secretary of my doctor didn't contact me for more than a year, I don't know if it's because of the pandemic or just because my braces are already done.
We recommend wearing retainers for life while you sleep. Its the only way to guarantee your teeth stay straight
My teeth aren’t crowded or crooked I just have a underbite that’s pretty bad. I can’t bite things like ketchup packets to open them
Hi,i have noticed underbite in my 18month old son he is growing his premolars and his lower incisors are sticking out quite a bit. Is it too early to determine if he will have underbite and is there anything that can be done early before it he gets older?
Thank you.
Hi David, most kids can begin early orthodontist tic treatment around 6 or 7 if the doctor feels it will be helpful to start early.
At 18 months there’s not much to be done. Your child still has a lot of developing to do and there’s still lots of growth that will happen.
For now, you don’t need to worry too much. Wait until your child is closer to 6 or 7 and see about getting a consultation with an orthodontist. 👍
@@PremierOrthodontics thank you Doc.I now can be calm as i monitor him.
How long will you need braces for a moderate underbite ? please answer
Most patients will require braces for 18-24 months on average. This may be more or less depending on your specific case
How much it would cost to fix underbite?
The underbite is usually noticed by D.O. during appt.
Correct!
i have a moderate underbite without crouding a little crossbite should I also need extractions?
It’s possible. Without seeing your teeth it’s hard to say for sure.
Getting a consultation with an orthodontist will be the best next step to find out the best treatment plan for you specifically. Good luck 👍
I had a cross bite/under bite too. I had this done and didn’t have to get jaw surgery! I vlogged the process. It’s on my channel, you can check it out if u want!
I think underbites can be resolved affectively!
I have an underbite but from. The front you can't even tell even though my bottom teeth are a whole tooth foreard
Is it possible to fix a class three skeletal malacolusion with braces and extractions
Most of the time, yes! It depends on how severe the class III skeletal malocclusion is. If you watch our video, the third patient shown was too severe to be treated with extractions along - that specific patient required jaw surgery.
But probably 90% of class III patients can be successfully treated without jaw surgery using braces or sometimes braces with extractions.
My underbite makes my face look square shaped. This is my worst insecurity ever
I had a slight underbite like your 1st patient . Currently 2 years into my braces. But my concern is that I have a posterior open bite and my ortho says there’s no solution to close the bite? Elastics can’t solve this?
Posterior open bites can be very difficult to correct. Elastics can sometimes help, but it depends on the cause of the open bite.
How long does it take to fix a moderate underbite?
I had a tooth extraction last month and I am getting impatient with my braces...
Most of the time it will take about two years for braces with underbite correction.
It may take more or less than 24 months depending on the severity of your case.
Your orthodontist should be able to give you a more accurate estimate
How long does it takes the extraction gap to heal and fill while wearing braces?
@@PremierOrthodontics thanks for your reply. I had my braces since 9/2017 and im still wearing it now. So frustrating that its taking ages to have it done. My dentist then advised that it will take another year before they can finally take it off...
@@mlee.a9002 Btw, how is your bite now? Because I also have moderate underbite and its my 3rd month on braces. I'm curious how long does it take to have progress..
@@christianjay4344 mine took 14 months
I have a strong underbite and using rubber bands right now, is this going yo send my chin back? Or just my teeth, i fear My chin gets smaller with this
How long does it take to recover from the surgery. And How long should i wear the braces. And after the surgery should i wear braces with or without elastics
The timeline usually goes something like this:
1. Braces for 12-18 months to prepare for jaw surgery
2. Jaw surgery with a short stay in hospital (sometimes 1-2 days)
3. Jaw surgery recovery for 1-2 months eating soft foods
4. Continue braces for six months to fine tune and detail the teeth and bite.
You will likely be wearing rubber bands with the braces after surgery to help detail and stabilize the bite.
Hope that helps! 👍
@@PremierOrthodontics does it hurt after the surgery.
i want this treatment
i need the address
Can you tell how much money and how much time will be required for this treatment?
I have under bite and my teeth got removed so i hope it fix my underbite
mine litterally fully covers my teeth. and i have gaps on my lower teeth.. (i have tiny teeth)
How much Surgery
Can someone please answer my question I am desperate and depressed these days hoping not to do the surgery. Can a brace fix your mild underbite without surgery? I am 15 years old male
Edit: Is it okay not to do underbite surgery. Will it be okay for me?
hi! I ever did braces for underbite in the past and it was fine, and after years the lower teeths start to move to the front again, what do you think I should do? my upper teeth is still in front, but just by a bit. Should I do braces again? or leave it be? and if I do braces again, will this happen again? does the teeth will stop moving? I will be 17 this year.
It sounds like you may have had some shifting of your teeth which happens sometimes. It may be due to a little bit of growth of your lower jaw, or because retainers weren't worn or didn't fit quite right.
In either case, you can definitely get braces again and get it corrected. You may consider getting a permanent retainer plus a removable retainer this time to be sure you don't get any shifting again after treatment.
I would visit your orthodontist, they should be able to recommend a good plan that will help get everything corrected.
@@PremierOrthodontics Thank you so much for the info!! I really appreciate it!
My doctor told me the best time to get braces would be in your 20’s to 30’s if you have a mild underbite due to your lower jaw continuously growing at that time.
This is the same thing that happened to me. I had braces for four years and I got them taken off near the end of 2020. Now I’ve been having bad pain and I have to see a orthodontist again because I have a underbite again.
Hi, at first I don’t have underbite. But I got braces on my upper teeth only. So it cause my upper teeth stop growing, but my under teeth keep growing, and now I have an underbite. Can it fix by braces and elastic to pull my under teeth back to its place and make the underbite gone? Thank you so much, have a nice day!
Extraction! Don’t use elastics since it will push your upper teeth forward and misalign the balance of your profile
hey doc, my lower and upper teeth are hitting each other, what do you call this case? is this considered as underbite?
This is usually referred to as an “edge to edge” bite. An edge to edge bite is a type of mild underbite
@@PremierOrthodontics can this be fixed with braces and elastics?
Yesss we're same condition. I'm about to get my braces on but since it's pandemic and strict I think the schedule will move a bit.
@@whogivesafuck5760 I am also wondering I also have edge to edge bite You got any answer plz sharw
I have the opposite over jet or over bite
How long would a mild underbite take to fix with braces?
Probably about 18 - 24 months
