Can an Underbite Correct Itself?

Severe injuries and tumors may result in underbites as well. In a perfect world, an underbite would resolve itself over time. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case and treatment is necessary to correct an underbite.

At what age do you correct an underbite?

Why? Early treatment (aka Phase 1 treatment) between the ages of 7 and 10 may be most effective at correcting this bite. Widening the upper jaw at a young age can allow for the permanent teeth to erupt in a better position than they otherwise would have.

Can you fix your underbite without braces?

Yes, Invisalign clear aligners can fix some underbites. Severe underbites might require Invisalign treatment combined with surgery.
