Causes of underbite
Underbited teeth, also known as underbite, is one of the most common forms of malocclusion, manifested by a deviation in the relationship between the two jaws. Normally, with normally developed teeth, when the mouth is closed, the upper molar arch will cover the lower molar arch. As for people with underbite, the jaw bite will develop in reverse, meaning the lower teeth cover the upper teeth.
This condition is common in everyone, whether you are young or old. In the field of dentistry, underbite teeth can form due to genetics or from daily eating habits. Specifically:
