How To Fix Underbite?

See an orthodontist or dentist for an evaluation

Use clear aligners only if the underbite is mild and suitable

Use elastics if prescribed by the orthodontist

Use a palatal expander if recommended for a growing child

Consider jaw surgery for severe skeletal underbite in adults

Combine braces and jaw surgery for major bite correction

Treat missing or damaged teeth that may worsen the bite

Stop habits that can affect jaw alignment, such as thumb sucking

Wear retainers after treatment to maintain the correction

Address tongue thrusting or other oral habits with therapy if needed

Get early treatment for children to guide jaw growth

Manage symptoms with soft foods and pain relief if the bite causes discomfort

Follow all orthodontic instructions and attend regular checkups
