TMJ, Underbite & Jaw Surgery in Anelog

Jaw-related problems are among the more complex conditions treated by specialists in Anelog. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.

Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies

Skeletal underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.

Should Teenagers Choose Aligners or Fixed Braces?

This depends on both clinical suitability and the teenager's temperament. Fixed braces work around the clock with no patient compliance required — ideal for those who might forget or avoid wearing their aligners. Aligners are appealing for teenagers who are highly motivated, concerned about appearance, and reliable about their daily wearing hours.
