Summary about Under-Jet

Under-jet is the type of overbite distinguished by the way the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth. An under-jet occurs when the lower teeth cover a portion of the upper teeth. It is a malocclusion in which the maxillary incisors are measurably within the perimeter of the incisors of the mandibular jaw. In normal teeth, maxillary incisors are larger than mandibular incisors.

  • Teeth grinding
  • Cracked teeth
  • Jaw strain
  • Aesthetic issues as the appearance of the smile are  extremely poor

The degree by which the lower teeth jet over the upper teeth varies, and the greater the under-jet, the more detrimental to dental health.
