What isan underbite?

An underbite is a dental condition where the lower teeth protrude in front of the upper teeth when the mouth is closed. This misalignment can affect both the appearance of the smile and the function of the bite, potentially leading to difficulties in chewing and speaking. Underbites can be caused by genetic factors, thumb-sucking, or other childhood habits. Treatment options often include orthodontics or surgery, depending on the severity.
