Underbite Treatment<\/h2>\n

An underbite is when the lower front teeth are in front of the upper front teeth. It is very important to monitor as early as 6 years of age because the bone is more adaptable at that age, so the need for surgery is much lower. Treating earlier because of growth is ideal, but not treating underbites leads to a collapsed looking face, which causes you to appear several years older than you are. Dr Ammar is passionate about creating facial harmony with the smile and surrounding muscles. When an underbite is not treated at an early age, it becomes more difficult and complex to treat, often leading to jaw surgery. However, it is still important to ask about options with treating an underbite at any age; with the right combination of patient compliance and doctor expertise, we may be able to deliver the smile for you without surgery.<\/p>\n
