Underbite Treatment in London
Fix your bite. Feel comfortable smiling again.
If your lower front teeth sit in front of your top front teeth, you’ve probably wondered:
“Is this something I should fix… and how complicated is it going to be?”
👉 In many cases, fixing an underbite is simpler, more discreet, and more predictable than you expect.
At Pearl Dental Clinic, we see this all the time—patients who’ve lived with an underbite for many years, assuming it’s a complicated problem to fix… then realise it’s actually very manageable once they get clear guidance.
What an underbite affects (beyond just looks)
Some people come in purely for cosmetic reasons. Others don’t even notice it—until it starts causing problems.
An underbite can lead to:
- Uneven tooth wear (teeth being worn down faster than they should)
- Difficulty in chewing foods properly
- Jaw tension or fatigue
- A facial side profile that feels “off”
Even mild underbite cases can slowly cause issues in the long term.
There are different types of underbite.
The part most clinics skip (but matters most)
Not all underbites are the same.
Before talking about treatment, we figure out why your underbite exists:
- Is it mainly tooth position?
- Is it jaw-related?
- Or a combination of both?
This is what determines whether you need:
- Invisalign
- Braces
- Or something more advanced such as jaw surgery
👉 Without this step, treatment plans are guesswork. We don’t do guesswork.
Your treatment options
Invisalign (clear aligners) – the discreet choice
If your underbite is mild to moderate, Invisalign clear aligners are often the most popular option.
- Nearly invisible
- Removable (so eating is easy)
- Gradually moves teeth into alignment
Best for: adults who want a subtle, discreet and lifestyle-friendly option.
What patients like most:
You can go through treatment without most people even noticing that you are undergoing any treatment.
Fixed braces – the most precise option
Fixed braces are still considered to be the most effective way to correct underbites, especially when more control is needed over tooth movement.
- Works for mild to more complex cases
- Uses gentle, controlled movement
- Often combined with small elastics to guide the bite
Best for: predictable, precise results.
What patients are surprised by:
Braces are far more comfortable (and less noticeable) than they used to be. We use clear ceramic braces as well lingual braces which are positioned on the inside surfaces of teeth.
Specialist-led treatment (for more complex cases)
If your underbite is mainly caused by jaw position, we’ll guide you through the right pathway—which may include working with a specialist surgeon.
Severe underbite cases often require jaw surgery as well as orthodontics for correction.
The key thing here isn’t rushing into surgery—it’s making the right decision for long-term stability and comfort.
What underbite treatment actually feels like
Most people expect to have discomfort, hassle, and a long process.
The reality is usually very different.
- Appointments are straightforward
- Adjustments are gentle
- You get used to it quickly
- Progress is gradual—but noticeable
👉 The biggest shift for most patients isn’t physical—it’s confidence.
Smiling, eating, talking… it all starts to feel natural again.
