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 underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
