Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Patients in Cartbridge with jaw pain, significant bite issues or visible asymmetry should seek specialist assessment. 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 means the front teeth simply don't meet, a result of how the jaw has grown vertically. Severe adult cases often need surgical correction rather than orthodontics alone.
Near Cartbridge: the nearest practice with a specialist orthodontist: iQ Braces & Faces in Woking (2.2 miles), one of 12 within 20 miles.
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.
The referral pathway from Cartbridge begins with your dentist or orthodontist, who refers to an NHS OMFS or a combined orthodontic-surgical clinic. NHS funding covers surgery where there is a clear functional need. Recovery takes several weeks, but for patients with significant jaw discrepancies the outcomes — in both function and appearance — cannot be achieved any other way.
Near Cartbridge: the nearest practice listing NHS orthodontics: Woking Dental Care (2.1 miles), one of 14 within 20 miles; a specialist orthodontist: iQ Braces & Faces in Woking (2.2 miles), one of 12 within 20 miles; the nearest university dental hospital, where complex referrals are often seen: UCL Eastman Dental Hospital, London (24.4 miles).
