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.
