An underbite describes when the lower teeth and jaw extend beyond the upper teeth. Usually, the upper teeth partially conceal the lower teeth, but in an underbite, it's the opposite, with the lower teeth jutting out.

Treatment for malocclusion varies, depending on its severity. Sometimes, primary or permanent teeth require extraction to create space. Other times, jaw surgery for bone-related bite issues and the use of fixed or removable appliances might be necessary.
