Invisalign for Underbite In Hamden, CT
An underbite can affect your chewing, speech, and confidence. Invisalign clear aligners offer a comfortable, discreet way to correct an underbite by gradually repositioning your teeth for better bite alignment. At Connect Family Dental, Dr. Kunal Patel evaluates each case to determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for your underbite.
A Little Bit About Underbites
An underbite describes a dental condition where the front bottom teeth protrude further than the front upper teeth. While the severity of the condition can vary widely, it is usually considered a class three malocclusion, also referred to as simply a bad bite.
While habits in infancy, such as thumb-sucking or pushing at your teeth with your tongue, can lead to an underbite, it is more commonly an inherited trait. Injuries to and tumors in your mouth or jaw can also lead to the jaw deformations that cause underbites.
While an underbite is usually just a cosmetic concern, extreme cases can make chewing and speaking difficult. Underbites can also lead to other dental problems, such as increased risk of tooth decay, difficulty cleaning your teeth, higher risk for gum disease, increased jaw pain and tension, a greater probability of breaking a tooth, and a higher risk of developing TMJ dysfunction.
At Connect Family Dental, we evaluate the type and severity of your underbite to determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for your situation.

Facial BalanceBenefits of Invisalign Underbite Correction
Invisalign is the industry leader in clear aligner therapy. Since 1997, Invisalign has improved the smiles of more than seven million people and continues to innovate with more comfortable aligners and efficient tooth movement.
No Metal Mouth
Unlike braces with metal brackets, Invisalign trays are clear and virtually unnoticeable during conversation.
Speak Naturally
The thin plastic trays sit close to your teeth and do not interfere with speech the way metal braces sometimes can.
No Mouth Sores
Metal brackets often cause cuts and sores inside your cheeks. Smooth Invisalign trays eliminate that problem.
Remove for Sports
Take your aligners out for contact sports or playing instruments. Put them back in when you are done.
No Broken Brackets
Metal braces often break and require emergency visits. Invisalign trays do not have parts that can snap or come loose.
Better Chewing Function
An underbite makes chewing difficult. Correcting it means you can eat more comfortably and digest food better.
Protect Your Jaw Joint
An untreated underbite puts extra stress on the TMJ, which can lead to chronic pain, clicking, and headaches.

Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to reposition the upper and lower teeth, improving the bite relationship and reducing the underbite.
Tooth Repositioning
The aligners move the lower teeth backward and the upper teeth forward into a more balanced bite relationship.
Bite Correction Features
The treatment plan may include elastics or attachments that work with the aligners to help correct the bite.
Digital Treatment Planning
3D imaging maps out every stage of your treatment, showing how your teeth will move to correct the underbite.
Long-Term Retention
After correction, a retainer helps maintain your results and prevents the underbite from returning.
