Jaw Problems & Treatment in Inverey

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.

For teenagers in Inverey, orthodontics improves far more than just the smile. Active jaw growth lets orthodontists in Inverey guide the teeth more efficiently. Getting the timing and treatment type right makes a real difference to outcomes.

Should Teenagers Choose Aligners or Fixed Braces?

This depends on both clinical suitability and the teenager's temperament. Fixed braces work around the clock with no patient compliance required — ideal for those who might forget or avoid wearing their aligners. Aligners are appealing for teenagers who are highly motivated, concerned about appearance, and reliable about their daily wearing hours.
