Underbite Cosmetic Reconstruction
There are some cases that do not meet normal criteria for veneer placement. “Hard bites” such as found with people that have Class III occlusions (underbites) normally can be difficult and even impossible to improve esthetically due to the heavy demands created by the lower jaw upon the upper teeth.
For example, this young professional came to our office after consulting with every leading cosmetic expert from coast to coast. He had given up hope trying to find a solution to improving on what he called “a crooked and deficient smile.” Nobody could provide a solution for improving his smile due to the extent of his underbite.
After careful analysis we came up with a game plan to improve his bite and make adequate room to place 8 lumineers in order to achieve a more harmonious smile.
The photos above show the results of our treatment. Notice the overall improvement in the facial appearance. Also notice the improved lip function with the new smile.
