Most Complex Cases Can Be Treated Without Surgery!

Currently, the most common methods for correcting an underbite are either jaw surgery or non-surgical orthodontics. For severe cases, some doctors may immediately recommend jaw surgery.

However, jaw surgery requires general anesthesia, and metal plates or screws are permanently left in the skull afterward. Compared to non-surgical orthodontics, there are inherent risks involved. Many people mistakenly believe that surgery provides a one-time, permanent solution. In reality, braces are still required before and after surgery to properly align and stabilize the teeth.

At Dr. Tseng's Orthodontic Clinic, we specialize in non-surgical orthodontics, providing safe and effective treatment for underbites and other complex cases.
