**Can Jaw Functional Orthopedics Correct an Underbite Without Surgery?**
Did you know that an underbite is often much more than a problem with the teeth? In many children, an underbite is actually the result of how the jaws are growing—not just where the teeth are positioned. In this video, Dr. Priya Mistry, The TMJ Doc, explains how **Jaw Functional Orthopedics (JFO)** can guide jaw growth during childhood to help correct many skeletal underbites while children are still growing.
You'll learn the difference between **dental and skeletal underbites**, why mouth breathing, tongue posture, swallowing, and facial growth all play an important role, and why early intervention can make such a significant difference. Dr. Mistry also demonstrates how the **SN3 appliance with an Eschler arch** works to encourage proper tongue posture, stimulate forward growth of the upper jaw, and guide healthy jaw development using your child's own natural growth.
In this video you'll discover:
• What causes an underbite
• Dental vs. skeletal underbites
• How tongue posture influences jaw growth
• The connection between mouth breathing and facial development
• Why early treatment matters
• How Jaw Functional Orthopedics works
• The SN3 appliance and Eschler arch explained
• Before-and-after patient results
• When treatment may help avoid jaw surgery later in life
If you're a parent concerned about your child's bite, or a dentist interested in functional orthopedic treatment, this video will help you better understand how growth guidance can create lasting changes.
