Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. Some patients in Cookham Rise have jaw discrepancies that can't be corrected by moving teeth alone. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
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 Cookham Rise with significant TMJ symptoms should seek assessment from an orofacial pain specialist as a first step, before pursuing orthodontic treatment.

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.

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.
