TMJ, Underbite & Jaw Surgery in Largymeanoch

Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Some patients in Largymeanoch have jaw discrepancies that can't be corrected by moving teeth alone. This guide explains TMJ, skeletal bites and when orthognathic surgery is involved.

Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery

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.
