Jaw problems range from mild functional discomfort to complex skeletal discrepancies. They span TMJ pain through to skeletal discrepancies that may need jaw surgery. Early specialist assessment is always the right starting point.
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 is the reverse — the lower jaw sits noticeably smaller or further back than the upper one. In children, a functional appliance can guide jaw growth to correct it; in adults with a severe case, jaw surgery is sometimes the only route.
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.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders
The TMJ joints connect the lower jaw to the skull on either side of the face. TMJ disorder (TMJD) symptoms include: jaw or facial pain particularly on waking; clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth; limited mouth opening; headaches at the temples; and earache without infection.
The relationship between bite and TMJ symptoms is complex. While orthodontics can correct bite issues that may contribute to TMJ loading, it is not a guaranteed treatment for TMJ pain. Patients in Clive Green with significant TMJ symptoms should seek assessment from an orofacial pain specialist as a first step, before pursuing orthodontic treatment.
