,Class III:Class III is where the lower first molar is anterior (or more towards the front of the mouth) than the upper first molar. In this abnormal relationship, the lower teeth and jaw project further forward than the upper teeth and jaws. There is a concave appearance in profile with a prominent chin. Class III problems are usually due to an overgrowth in the lower jaw, undergrowth of the upper jaw or a combination of the two.

Edward Angle, who is considered the father of modern orthodontics, was the first to classify malocclusion.
- Class III: Mesiocclusion (prognathism,negative overjet) is when the lower front teeth are more prominent than the upper front teeth. In this case the patient very often has a large mandible or a short maxillary bone.UNDERBITEIn this type of bite (or a Class III problem), the lower teeth and jaw extend out over the upper jaw structure. This, too, is generally attributed to inherited characteristics. In most cases, the lack of development in the upper jaw is the cause of a Class III problem.www.drgeorgebardawil.com
Underbite should be corrected because it can:
- prevent proper functioning of the front teeth or molars which can lead to premature wear of the teeth
- cause chewing or eating problems
- cause jaw or joint problemsmake your smile less attractive
