Ideally, the upper teeth should cover the lower ones slightly. But with an underbite, the alignment is reversed, causing the patient to have an unnatural appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Causes of underbites <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also referred to as prognathism or Class III malocclusion, underbites are commonly a hereditary problem.
