underbites
Jutting lower jaws
Underbites is the plural of underbite, a dental condition where the lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper, causing the bottom teeth to sit in front of the top teeth when the mouth is closed.
The term applies to both humans and animals: Bulldogs are known for their underbites.
Underbites range from barely noticeable to severe enough to affect speech or chewing.
