I've got a class 3 underbite and I'm going to have a top bridge put in do I have to get the surgery
I used to have an underbite , luckily my dentist saw it early and I got a very VERY early treatment (braces at nine years old) and it actually was ruining my teeth! Even though I was the youngest person with braces at my school I am sooo thankful bc I don’t have and underbite anymore
Paula Ecla my baby is 1 and his under bite is so bad 😔 it makes me so sad that he’ll probably need to get braces and he’s now starting to grind his teeth day and night 😭😭
@@jaylinwooden438 same for i my 1 yr old 😔😥 its heart breaking both my children have it.
@@jaylinwooden438 please search for mewing (Tongue position) It can be fixed

What if it’s a class 3 on one side what is that called?
That's interesting I had this the dentist always told me I had to wait until I was older until I stopped growing as only surgery can fix this they completed wasted my time for years and didn't even give me the right treatment, I'm now doing the treatment independently with the elastics for two years and then veneers to align the bite, if they had of told me this from the start it would have saved me so much trouble I honestly despise dentist at this point there the worst they keep talking in such medical terms and fail to consider the person never going back there again NHS have the worst care. 💥
Doc clear aligner can solved my underbite
Does class 3 only move lower teeth back?
Doc please help me out with my underbite issues I don't have enough money for a surgery pls pls help me
I have braces right now and I have an underbite. But my dentist extracted two teeth from my bottom teeth. So I'm guessing the 6 teeth that are straighten at the bottom will be pushed back( with the elastic a) so I can bite correctly right?? And so my top teeth can be over the bottom teeth?? I'm so sad j don't want an under bite :( Anyways thanks Doctor! :))
Itss Maryy What age are you at when u had ur treatment?
how about those adults? your saying no chance to fix it anymore? cos you're only talking a child.. 😢
I am underbite and my doctor suggested that I should have palette expander and jaw positioning. Is it good or bad or I really need to undergo jaw surgery?
It’s a lot more cheaper than surgery. Basically they place expanders in the top of your mouth to make your teeth spread out and align with the bottom.
my name Tan im 18 year old i had under bite is it too late for treatment my under bite i don't want surgery
Kyle Dang even I have the same question. I'm 16
Kyle Dang that the only choice if you want to fix it... to get surgery
My 2 yo son has this case which worry us parents a lot.
I have an underbite have done as far back as I can I remember
my 1yr old and 7 months son is also underbite, does your child undergo treatment or what the dentist told you do to?
@@weiLaLin same my 14month old teeth are coming in and I’m noticing an underbite but from what I have been researching you can start treatment at 8 or 9
Best to wait till your jaw has fully stopped growing then can see if need jaw surgery or braces alone can fix this. There are newer treatment options that just move lower teeth back and not the lower jaw and does not involve lower jaw surgery- speak to your orthodontist more about this.
What if it is 2 yr old with obvious underbite? Dentist blew it off, is there exercises that can be done?
I had an underbite when I was young and it was fixed with braces, I didn’t wear my retainer because I didn’t actually know I was supposed to wear if for life so it’s shifted back again. Would braces fix it again? I’m at adult now
did they let you get braces for under bite at 15? or did they let you wait until your 18, because ive had an under bite for a while now at age 15 and they dentist haven’t done anything abttt it.
@@zhizhi2109 yeah when I was like 15 I had some. Nobody explained the retainer. I assumed it was a short term thing. I now have TMj problems because of it. They should help you if it’s bad because you can get issues like jaw pain, chipped teeth ect. It might be worth you mentioning it as they might not bother if you don’t say anything
@@bonniecarpenter145 do you any orthodontist you can suggests for me please
@@zhizhi2109 well I went to smile orthodontist, my dentist referred me when I was young
@@bonniecarpenter145 I have the exact same issue, now my underbite is back with TMJ
My daughter is 11. 5 years old.. And i am saving money.. Can i start the treatment at age 12. 5 . After one year. Will it be treatable? She has underbite. Her lower jaw comes forward when she is chewing.. But she can smile with the front upper and lower teeth meeting..
Orthotropics is better than orthodontics.
my son is 2 years old and it appears after watching this video that he has an underbite. Should we wait till he is 7 years.
No
@@calisingh7978 what’s the earliest to start treatment
@@canderaking5957 I would search treatments now. Not all treatments are the same or drs. I would shop for a sleep dr because the alignment can effect sleep patterns and face shape. Open mouth breathing while sleeping making a longer face. So gently closing mouth while sleeping and types of drinking devices used. Talk to many many professionals until you find the correct one that has the absolute best non invasive treatment plan. Am sorry I don’t have any answers, I have to do the same and persistence is key, too many people just collecting a check. Also calcium and proper nutrition for bone growth to help it naturally catch up on the top. They can test blood for nutrition. Ask for results and look yourself. Mine was low on iron.
Yes, use braces and push all the teeth back (including the jaws) so the patient ends up getting forms of TMJ later on in their life. Good work orthodontists.
Plz explain cuz you got me worried now I have an underbite and I'm scared I might need some kind of treatment please explain what you mean about tmj and stuff
Trollo Brine tmj makes your jaw click and causes discomfort whenever you open your mouth.
Gemini I don’t think that information is valid I heard it is caused by a rip in the cartilage
@@lterry5135 whenever i open my mouth i do have some sort of click or some pop, i dont feel pain tho, is there a way to fix it through braces, or smth or is it permanently?
this is true can confirm had an underbite fixed it with braces but the underbite grew back and got tmj
