Choosing a Brace Provider in Bantaskin

Jaw Alignment & Bite Issues in Bantaskin

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.
