Jaw Problems & Treatment in Binniehill
Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. Many of these conditions are treatable, and early diagnosis improves outcomes.
Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to correct skeletal discrepancies that orthodontics alone cannot address. Performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS) under general anaesthetic, it is combined with 12-18 months of orthodontic treatment before and after the surgical procedure.
