Underbite

What is underbite?

Class 3 malocclusion (underbite) is when the upper teeth are positioned behind the lower teeth. This is usually due to the upper jaw being too small, or the lower jaw being too large

Treatment

Orthognathic surgery (jaw surgery) for underbite

The specific treatment for underbite depends on the overall proportions of your upper jaw, your lower jaw, and your chin. Surgery can include any of the following techniques:

✅ LeFort 1 osteotomy (upper jaw surgery)

✅ Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO - lower jaw surgery)

✅ Genioplasty (chin surgery)
