Understanding Braces for Underbites: Top & Bottom Treatment

It depends on the severity of the underbite and the specific treatment plan recommended by your orthodontist. In some cases, top and bottom braces may be used to correct an underbite. The upper braces can help to move the upper teeth forward, while the lower braces can help to move the lower teeth back. This can help to correct the alignment of the teeth and improve the bite. In more severe cases, additional treatments such as jaw surgery may be necessary to correct an underbite.
