NHS orthodontic waiting times in Surrey vary significantly by practice and by how the referral was made.

Teenage Orthodontic Treatment in Egham Wick

The teenage years are the optimal window for orthodontic treatment for most patients in Egham Wick. It can have a lasting positive impact on confidence, dental health and facial development. The key decisions are timing, NHS versus private, and treatment type in Surrey.

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.

Teeth Problems Treated by Orthodontists in Egham Wick

Orthodontic problems are far more common than most people realise. Left untreated, some of these problems worsen and become harder to correct. Understanding your condition is the first step to knowing what treatment can help.

Early Assessment in Egham Wick

Many orthodontic problems are easier to treat when identified early — particularly in growing patients where jaw development can still be guided. Orthodontists generally recommend a first assessment by age 7–8, not because treatment starts then, but because a specialist can identify developing problems that benefit from early intervention.

TMJ, Underbite & Jaw Surgery in Egham Wick

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. Many of these conditions are treatable, and early diagnosis improves outcomes.

Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies

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.
