Jaw Problems & Treatment in Ladwell

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. 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.

For teenagers in Ladwell, orthodontics improves far more than just the smile. 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 Hampshire.

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.
