Jaw Problems Treated by Orthodontists in Corsehill
Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
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.
Braces for Teenagers in Corsehill
Getting the timing right in the teenage years pays off for years afterwards. Each option carries different implications for compliance, aesthetics and cost. A photo assessment is a low-pressure first step for a hesitant teenager.
Timing — When Should Teenagers Start?
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.
