Does an underbite get progressively worse over time?

Underbite, commonly known as reverse bite, may become increasingly severe over time. Specific details are as follows:

A reverse bite usually refers to misalignment of the teeth when biting. Anterior reverse bite may be caused by genetic or congenital factors, or may result from不良 oral habits, systemic diseases, respiratory conditions, and other causes. Posterior reverse bite may stem from dental or functional factors, or could be due to skeletal issues. As the jawbone continues to grow, the condition may progressively worsen. Adults with a reverse bite may experience greater tooth wear, and as the teeth wear down, the lower jaw may gradually recede, leading to further deterioration.

Individuals with a reverse bite should avoid eating excessively hard foods in daily life and should also avoid strenuous physical activities to prevent dental trauma.
