Jaw Surgery Referral from Farsley
If your orthodontist identifies a skeletal jaw problem requiring surgical correction, they will refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgery team. Pre-surgical orthodontics (typically 12-18 months) aligns the teeth before surgery repositions the jaws. Post-surgical orthodontics refines the bite after healing.
NHS jaw surgery is available for significant functional cases. Private surgical treatment is also available and arranged more quickly. A specialist consultation is the appropriate first step to understand whether surgery is indicated.

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.
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 caused by uneven jaw growth shows up as an off-centre chin point and midlines that don't line up. A mild degree of this is genuinely common and not a concern; only when it's pronounced enough to affect function does surgical correction come into the conversation.
Skeletal open bite means the front teeth simply don't meet, a result of how the jaw has grown vertically. Severe adult cases often need surgical correction rather than orthodontics alone.
