Clear Aligner Treatment
for Class III Malocclusion

An underbite — known clinically as a Class III malocclusion or 주걱턱 in Korean — occurs when your lower jaw protrudes forward, causing the lower front teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth. It's one of the most common orthodontic concerns we see among expats and international residents in Songdo.

Invisalign clear aligners offer an effective, discreet solution for mild to moderate underbites. Custom-made from medical-grade transparent plastic, each aligner tray gently guides your teeth toward their ideal position — without brackets, wires, or the discomfort of traditional braces.

When combined with Class III elastics (고무줄), Invisalign can also help correct the jaw relationship itself — not just the tooth positions. At Songdo Dental Clinic, we assess every patient individually to determine whether Invisalign is the right option for your bite.

When Should You Consider Invisalign for Your Underbite?

Invisalign is most effective for dental underbites — where the teeth themselves are misaligned — and mild to moderate skeletal cases. During your initial consultation, we perform a full 3D digital scan to assess the severity of your Class III bite and recommend the most appropriate treatment path.

Patients who tend to be excellent Invisalign candidates for underbite correction include:

  • Adults and teens seeking a discreet treatment option
  • Patients with mild to moderate Class III malocclusion
  • Those who have completed jaw growth (typically 16+ years)
  • Patients committed to wearing aligners 20–22 hours daily
  • Expats who prefer English-language consultations throughout

02

Digital Treatment Plan

We digitally simulate the entire tooth movement journey and show you your predicted final result — before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything expats want to know about underbite Invisalign treatment in Songdo.

Can Invisalign really fix an underbite (주걱턱)?
Yes — for mild to moderate underbites, Invisalign is highly effective. When combined with Class III elastics (고무줄), the aligners can also influence the jaw relationship — not just tooth position. Severe skeletal underbites may require orthognathic surgery in combination with orthodontics, which we'll discuss transparently at your consultation.
How long does Invisalign take for an underbite?
Most underbite cases we treat in Songdo take between 12 and 24 months, depending on severity. Mild cases with Invisalign Lite may be completed in under a year. We'll give you a precise treatment timeline after your free 3D scan appointment.
How much does underbite Invisalign cost in Korea?
At our Songdo clinic, Invisalign for Class III correction ranges from ₩2,800,000 to ₩6,500,000 depending on your case. This is significantly more affordable than equivalent treatment in North America or Europe. Interest-free payment plans are available, and we work with major international insurance providers.
Is Invisalign painful for underbite correction?
Most patients feel mild pressure for the first 1–3 days after switching to a new aligner tray — this is completely normal and shows the aligners are working. Underbite cases with Class III elastics may feel slightly more jaw tension initially, but most patients find Invisalign significantly more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
Do you offer consultations in English?
Absolutely. Our clinic in Songdo, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon serves the international community — including residents from Incheon Global Campus (NYU, SUNY, George Mason, Utah, GIT), Chadwick International School, Samsung BioLogics, Celltrion, and POSCO. All consultations, 3D scanning, treatment planning, and follow-up appointments are available in English.
How do Invisalign elastics (고무줄) work for underbite?
Class III elastics are small rubber bands worn between upper and lower aligner hooks. They apply gentle backward pressure on the lower jaw while pulling the upper jaw forward — working alongside the aligners to correct the jaw relationship. They're worn 22 hours a day and replaced daily. We'll show you exactly how to use them at your fitting appointment.
What happens if Invisalign isn't enough for my underbite?
For severe skeletal underbites, Invisalign alone may not achieve the full correction. In these cases, we'll discuss all options honestly — including traditional braces with elastics, or a referral for orthognathic surgery consultation combined with orthodontic treatment. We'll never recommend a treatment that isn't appropriate for your specific bite.
