Clear Aligners & Invisalign For Underbite in Hurstville

Invisalign, Spark & Angel Aligners for Underbite – Forest Road Dental, Hurstville

What Is an Underbite?

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend in front of the upper teeth when your mouth is closed. This happens when the lower jaw is positioned too far forward. Underbites can make chewing and speaking difficult, cause teeth to wear down faster, and affect facial aesthetics.

What Causes an Underbite?

Underbites can be caused by genetics, childhood habits, or injury. Common contributing factors include:

  • Inherited jaw size or shape – Family members may have the same jaw alignment

  • Prolonged thumb-sucking or pacifier use after age three

  • Extended bottle feeding during childhood

  • Tongue thrusting – pushing the tongue against the teeth when swallowing

  • Jaw injuries or growth issues caused by trauma

  • Jaw tumours that alter jaw positioning

Why You Should Fix an Underbite

Leaving an underbite untreated can lead to:

  • Increased tooth wear and chipping

    • An underbite will make your teeth hard to clean.

    • The enamel on your teeth will wear out quickly.

  • Jaw joint problems (TMJ disorders)

    • Severe underbites can cause a painful joint condition known as TMJ.

  • Gum disease and tooth decay due to cleaning difficulties

    • Due to poor hygiene and excessive wear, your teeth can decay faster.

  • Reduced self-confidence due to changes in facial appearance

Correcting your underbite improves your bite, reduces strain on your jaw, and enhances your smile.

Benefits of Using Clear Aligners (Invisalign, Spark, or Angel Aligners) for an Underbite

At Forest Road Dental, we help patients correct crowding with clear aligners such as Invisalign, Spark, or Angel Aligners—without metal brackets or wires. Here are some of the most appreciated benefits:

Improved Appearance

Unlike metal braces, clear aligners are nearly invisible—so you can smile confidently during your entire treatment.

Easier Oral Hygiene

Clear aligners are removable, so you can continue brushing and flossing like normal. No tricky wires or brackets to clean around means healthier gums and fresher breath.

Custom Fit & Comfort

Every aligner is digitally designed using your 3D scan, creating a precise, snug fit that gently and comfortably moves your teeth into place—without sharp edges or wires.

Lifestyle-Friendly

You can take your aligners out when eating or for special events. As long as you wear them for 20–22 hours per day, they’ll work efficiently while adapting to your schedule.
