Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to correct skeletal discrepancies that orthodontics alone cannot address.

Getting the timing right in the teenage years pays off for years afterwards. Jaw growth is still active, adult teeth are in place, and the NHS pathway is accessible for eligible young people. Understanding the landscape helps parents and teens make a confident, informed choice.
Getting the Timing Right for Teens
The ideal age for most treatment is 11–14 — after most adult teeth have erupted but while jaw growth is still active. That growth lets orthodontists guide teeth more efficiently and, in some cases, use it to correct bite problems that would need more invasive treatment in an adult.
