Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. They span TMJ pain through to skeletal discrepancies that may need jaw surgery. This guide explains TMJ, skeletal bites and when orthognathic surgery is involved.

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.
