17+ Years of Expert Care with Invisalign for Underbite — Backed by Hundreds of 5-Star Reviews
I highly recommend them! Very friendly staff, and Dr. Biermann knows exactly what he’s doing! My treatment went faster than they had predicted, so I finished Invisalign in 7 months. I like the updated technology as well, which helped the doctor create the treatment plan even better!
My daughter and I are both current patients with Dr. Biermann. He and his staff have been so fantastic. Always greeted with a cheerful face. They helped my 11-year-old daughter feel safe and comfortable getting braces on and during adjustments. I am doing Invisalign, couldn’t be more pleased with the progress, and always feel that I am in safe hands. Everyone is always willing to answer any questions, and they have a very lovely office that my daughter and I both enjoy visiting. In addition, their pricing was competitive with other local offices, and they were able to work with my daughter’s issue without the use of a device for stretching her palate, of which she was very fearful. All in all, highly recommend.
I recently finished Invisalign here and had a great experience. For the first time in my life, I love my teeth! I really appreciated that they were extremely clear and upfront about the whole process. They were patient and flexible with me, even after I moved to a different state. It was well worth it for me to do 4 4-hour drives to continue services here. There were no hidden fees or confusion. The facility is also very clean and easy to find. Additionally, the staff here are so helpful and really go above and beyond. I can’t recommend this place enough, and I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
Excellent orthodontic service. My son underwent various treatments to correct the bite. Invisalign was part of the treatment plan. We are very satisfied with the outcome.
This place is an absolute gem! I selected this office based on the reviews, and they are nothing short of amazing. Seriously, one of the most zen-like offices I’ve ever been in. Excellent customer service throughout the whole staff! All were extremely friendly, welcoming, and professional. Rachelle provided clear and concise information about the Invisalign treatment and pricing plan, and was just all around a wonderful person walking me through everything. I like that the office provides appointment reminders through text and that they accommodate your schedule. The entire staff does an excellent job, which I can’t thank them enough for. I definitely would refer this location! <3
I’ve had a very positive experience with Biermann Orthodontics. The moment I stepped into the clinic, I was greeted with a warm smile. The clinic is so clean and smells fresh. Really nice people who work there and are very professional. Dr. Biermann did a really great job on my Invisalign journey. I am so satisfied and happy with the result of my teeth, and I regained my confidence in smiling. I will definitely recommend Biermann Orthodontics to family, friends, and colleagues.
I arrived at my consultation and was amazed by the swift but detailed photos and 3D scans of my teeth, before the overview and suggestions for my teeth. I was so impressed I called back to schedule my Invisalign treatment that day.
Dr. Biermann and his team have helped me when no one else would. I just finished my Invisalign treatment and want everyone to know they treated me compassionately and skillfully to not only restore my smile but also my trust in people. Thank you guys again.
Getting Invisalign in my 40s seemed intimidating, but going through treatment with Biermann Orthodontics was a fantastic experience. From their all-in-one convenient plan/package to the friendly staff, it was truly an amazing experience. (Clay and Rachelle are amazing.) They are timely, efficient, and provide quality care. My predicted treatment plan was 9-16 months, and I finished with a perfect smile in 7 months! If it’s not perfect, it’s not complete with this staff! I highly recommend them to anyone of any age seeking a new orthodontist.
When I first met Dr. Biermann, I was impressed by his integrity and professionalism. It is rare to find a provider that puts your needs above financial gain, but Dr. Biermann is one of the good ones. I completed Invisalign with Dr. Bierman, and my teeth have never looked better. Dr. Biermann is THE best Invisalign provider in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area. If you see Dr. Biermann, you will not only be impressed by his expertise but you will also find that he is a kind, honest, and caring person, and that final detail makes all the difference.
We’ve Had Experience With Hundreds of Complex Treatment Plans for Invisalign With Underbite
As an orthodontist, I treat every patient individually. Every smile is unique, and I carefully consider whether Invisalign or braces are the most appropriate solution for correcting their specific type of underbite.
Types of Underbites
There are two main types of underbites:
- Dental underbite – Caused by the misalignment of the teeth, where the lower teeth extend in front of the upper teeth, even though the jawbones are properly aligned
- Skeletal underbite – Caused by a discrepancy in jaw size or position, typically when the lower jaw is too large or the upper jaw is too small, leading to a more pronounced and complex underbite
Each type requires a different treatment approach, which is why proper diagnosis is essential.
Invisalign for Class 3 Underbite
A Class 3 malocclusion (underbite) occurs when the lower teeth and jaw extend forward, overlapping the upper teeth.
Invisalign can be effective when the underbite is:
- Mild to moderate
- Primarily dental (affecting the position of the teeth, not jaw bone structure)
- Treated early, especially in teens or young adults
With attachments, precision wings, and elastics, Invisalign can help shift teeth and guide jaw growth, especially in younger patients. In more severe and primarily skeletal cases, Invisalign might be more effective when combined with surgery or orthodontic appliances.
Next Steps To Assess the Best Course of Orthodontic Treatment for Underbite
To determine whether Invisalign is the right solution for your underbite, a personalized consultation with an orthodontist is essential. Only through a careful evaluation of your bite, jaw structure, and overall dental health can the most effective treatment be recommended.
Biermann Orthodontics, conveniently located in Beaverton, OR, looks forward to consulting your specific case and answering your questions.
Answering the Most Frequently Asked Questions About Braces for Adults
Does Invisalign Work for Underbites?
Yes, Invisalign can often correct mild to moderate underbites, especially when caused by dental misalignment (teeth position rather than jaw structure). For severe skeletal underbites, additional treatment like jaw surgery may be necessary in some cases.
How Long Does It Take To Fix an Underbite With Invisalign?
Treatment typically takes between 12 and 24 months, depending on the severity of the underbite and how well the patient follows instructions (like wearing the aligners 20–22 hours per day).
Does Invisalign for Underbite Work as Well as Braces?
For many mild to moderate cases, yes, Invisalign can be just as effective as braces. However, traditional braces may be recommended for more complex bite issues. Your best bet is to consult an orthodontist who will assess your dental X-rays.
Is Invisalign Treatment for Underbite Painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, but Invisalign for underbite is generally less painful than traditional braces.
