If your orthodontist identifies a skeletal jaw problem requiring surgical correction, they will refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgery team.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders
The TMJ joints connect the lower jaw to the skull on either side of the face. TMJ disorder (TMJD) symptoms include: jaw or facial pain particularly on waking; clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth; limited mouth opening; headaches at the temples; and earache without infection.
Bite and TMJ symptoms interact in complicated ways — orthodontics can correct a bite issue that's contributing to joint loading, but it's not a reliable fix for TMJ pain on its own. Anyone in Laigh Park with real TMJ symptoms should see an orofacial pain specialist first, ahead of considering orthodontic treatment.
