Underbite Treatment in West Hills

Underbite treatment in West Hills can improve how you bite, chew, speak, and feel about your smile. An underbite is when the lower front teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. It can range from mild to pronounced, and it is very treatable with the right plan.

What causes an underbite?

Underbites usually come from the way the jaws grow, and often run in families. Because jaw growth is involved, timing can matter, especially for children, which is why an early evaluation is valuable.

How we correct an underbite

• Early (Phase 1) treatment: in growing children, we can often guide the jaws while it is easiest.
• Braces: effective for aligning teeth and improving the bite in teens and adults.
• Invisalign: can address many milder underbites discreetly.
• Coordination with a specialist: more severe skeletal cases may involve a surgical consult, which we will discuss honestly.

Why treat it

Correcting an underbite can reduce uneven wear, make chewing easier, and improve your profile and confidence. We will assess yours and lay out the clearest, most effective plan at your free consultation.
