What Can Fix a One-Tooth Underbite?

Question

I have a major over bite, but my lateral incisor is behind my bottom teeth acting like an under bit, buts its only that one tooth.

There are several orthodontic methods available today to correct your bite. They include traditional braces, clear aligners and spring loaded appliances. I would suggest you consult with an Orthodontist to make sure there are no other alignment issues and to develop a treatment plan which suits your needs.
