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.
Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies
Skeletal underbite (Class III) occurs when the lower jaw is larger or more forward than the upper jaw. Mild cases can be addressed with camouflage orthodontics. Moderate to severe cases — particularly in adults — require orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
Skeletal overbite / retrognathism — lower jaw significantly smaller or further back than the upper. Functional appliances guide jaw growth in children; severe adult cases may need jaw surgery.
Facial asymmetry from uneven jaw growth causes a chin point off-centre and mismatched midlines. Mild asymmetry is common; significant asymmetry affecting function may require surgical correction.
Skeletal open bite — front teeth that don't meet due to vertical jaw growth patterns. Often requires surgical correction in adults when severe.

If your orthodontist identifies a skeletal jaw problem requiring surgical correction, they will refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgery team.
