Underbite
with Invisalign
in Busan
📍 Busanjin-gu, Seomyeon | ✨ Invisalign Specialist | 🌐 English OK
CS Dental Hospital in Busan Seomyeon assesses and treats underbite (반대교합) — including Invisalign treatment for moderate cases and combined orthodontic-surgical treatment planning for severe skeletal underbite. Not all underbite cases are suitable for Invisalign alone: the degree of jaw discrepancy determines whether clear aligners can achieve a satisfactory result or whether surgical correction is needed. CS Dental's board-certified orthodontist provides an honest assessment at consultation.
Moderate underbite can be treated with Invisalign. Severe skeletal underbite requires combined surgical assessment. CS Dental Hospital provides honest underbite diagnosis and Invisalign treatment in Busan Seomyeon — board-certified orthodontist. English OK.

Underbite (반대교합) — Invisalign Treatment in Busan
Underbite (반대교합) occurs when the lower jaw protrudes in front of the upper — the lower front teeth are positioned ahead of the upper front teeth when biting. The underlying cause may be dental (the lower teeth are tipped forward and/or the upper teeth are tipped back), functional (a habitual jaw protrusion), or skeletal (the lower jaw is structurally larger than the upper). Treatment suitability for Invisalign depends entirely on which of these causes is involved.
Dental underbite — where tooth position alone is responsible — is correctable with Invisalign. Upper teeth are moved forward and/or lower teeth are moved back within the dental arches. Moderate skeletal underbite can sometimes be camouflaged with Invisalign — improving the bite appearance and function within acceptable limits. Severe skeletal underbite(significant jaw size discrepancy, negative overjet more than 5–6mm) typically requires combined orthodontic-surgical treatment for a satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcome.
Growth Timing Matters — Underbite in Adolescents
For adolescent patients with underbite, treatment timing is critical. Early intervention during growth can reduce the severity of skeletal underbite — functional appliances and growth modification during ages 8–12 can guide mandibular growth. CS Dental provides growth-stage underbite assessment and early intervention planning. For patients whose growth has completed, the full extent of the skeletal discrepancy is evident and definitive treatment can be planned.
Post-Surgical Orthodontics with Invisalign
For patients who undergo orthognathic surgery for skeletal underbite, both pre-surgical and post-surgical orthodontic phases may be manageable with Invisalign — avoiding the need for traditional braces throughout the entire combined treatment. CS Dental coordinates the orthodontic phases for patients pursuing the combined approach.
How Invisalign Treats This Condition at CS Dental Busan
Condition-specific aligner mechanics — planned by your board-certified orthodontist.
Dental Underbite Correction
Tooth Position · Invisalign SuitableWhere underbite is caused by dental tooth position (lower teeth tipped forward, upper tipped back), Invisalign repositions the teeth to achieve a normal bite relationship.
- Dental cause confirmed at assessment
- Upper teeth advanced, lower retracted
- Good predictability for dental cases
- Comprehensive package required
Moderate Skeletal Camouflage
Mild-Moderate Jaw DiscrepancyMild to moderate skeletal underbite camouflaged by optimising tooth positions within each arch — improving bite and profile appearance within the limits of dental movement.
- Skeletal discrepancy mild-moderate
- Dental compensation approach
- Profile and bite improvement
- Comprehensive Invisalign package
Surgical Underbite Assessment
Severe Skeletal · Honest DiagnosisCS Dental provides honest assessment of whether Invisalign alone will achieve your goals. For severe skeletal underbite, combined orthodontic-surgical treatment with Invisalign for orthodontic phases.
- Honest suitability assessment
- Surgical referral where indicated
- Invisalign for ortho phases possible
- Full treatment coordination
Your Invisalign Journey at CS Dental Busan
From ClinCheck simulation to final retainer — specialist supervised.
Underbite Cause Assessment
Dental vs functional vs skeletal underbite differentiated using cephalometric analysis. Degree of jaw discrepancy measured. Invisalign suitability confirmed. Surgical referral discussed if indicated.
ClinCheck Simulation
Digital treatment plan shows achievable tooth movements. Patient reviews projected outcome and confirms treatment plan before aligner fabrication.
Active Aligner Treatment
Aligners worn 22 hrs/day. Upper arch advanced, lower arch retracted where indicated. Progress tracked at regular appointments. Bite relationship monitored.
Retention — Underbite Stability
Retainers fitted. Underbite has higher relapse tendency — robust retention protocol applied. For post-surgical cases, retainers coordinate with surgical recovery protocol.
Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
✓ Good Candidates
- Patients with dental underbite (confirmed by cephalometric assessment)
- Adults with mild to moderate skeletal underbite where camouflage is appropriate
- Adolescents in early growth stage where functional appliance intervention can reduce severity
- Patients who have completed orthognathic surgery wanting Invisalign for post-surgical finishing
ⓘ Important Considerations
- Severe skeletal underbite with significant jaw discrepancy — Invisalign alone cannot achieve a satisfactory outcome; combined surgical treatment required for good results
- Growth-stage patients — active jaw growth must be managed before definitive treatment; growth-stage intervention recommended first
- Underbite has higher relapse tendency than other conditions — strict long-term retention is essential
