The Conditions Orthodontists Treat in King's Park
The problems below cover the great majority of cases assessed in King's Park, from the very common to the more complex.
Jaw Problems Treated by Orthodontists in King's Park
Jaw-related problems are among the more complex conditions treated by specialists in King's Park. They span TMJ pain through to skeletal discrepancies that may need jaw surgery. This guide explains TMJ, skeletal bites and when orthognathic surgery is involved.
Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to correct skeletal discrepancies that orthodontics alone cannot address. Performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS) under general anaesthetic, it is combined with 12-18 months of orthodontic treatment before and after the surgical procedure.
Teen Orthodontics in King's Park

The Right Age to Begin
Most teenagers are best treated between 11 and 14: the adult teeth are through, yet active growth remains to be harnessed for bite correction that's far harder to achieve once growth stops.
