Dental Health & Information : Can Braces Correct an Underbite?

Braces can correct underbites if the degree of the underbite is small enough, but dramatic underbites often require surgery to fix the jaw bones around the mouth. Visit an orthodontist to discuss repairing an underbite with information from a general dentist in this free video on dentistry and underbites.

i have an underbite and i feel really really self-concious whenever i eat, talk or even smile. i really want to get braces and hope it can fix my teeth. i get really sad sometimes when looking at my teeth. :(

i have an underbite and am getting a braces consultation tomorrow.

not only will i need braces (with rubber bands i think. and maybe a retainer. i'll find out tomorrow) but i will also need head gear. I think i only need to wear the head gear at night though, THANK GOD. I would NEVER show my face again at school if i had to wear it during the day lol.

I put my teeth on top of eachother so my underbite isnt noticeable LOL

if you're self conscious like me you should do that! :)
