Without seeing your embouchure it is impossible to make any overarching statements about what does or doesn't work for the oboe. I had a student once who still had one milk-tooth for an incisor. She had serious problems and after a season I spoke to her parents and told them to get her teeth seen to before she came back.

Within reason, underbite will only alter the angle at which you hold the instrument relative to your head - you may find yourself playing with the instrument in the "clarinet" position. Not a problem, of itself. It may exacerbate your underbite over time, however, so perhaps you should see what can be done to improve it?
