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. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
Jaw Surgery Referral from Moulton Park
If your orthodontist identifies a skeletal jaw problem requiring surgical correction, they will refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgery team. Pre-surgical orthodontics (typically 12-18 months) aligns the teeth before surgery repositions the jaws. Post-surgical orthodontics refines the bite after healing.
NHS jaw surgery is available for significant functional cases. Private surgical treatment is also available and arranged more quickly. A specialist consultation is the appropriate first step to understand whether surgery is indicated.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders
The TMJ joints, one on each side of the face, are what connect the lower jaw to the skull. Signs of TMJ disorder (TMJD) include jaw or facial pain (often worst on waking), clicking or popping when opening or closing the mouth, a limited range of opening, temple headaches, and earache with no infection behind it.
The relationship between bite and TMJ symptoms is complex. While orthodontics can correct bite issues that may contribute to TMJ loading, it is not a guaranteed treatment for TMJ pain. Patients in Moulton Park with significant TMJ symptoms should seek assessment from an orofacial pain specialist as a first step, before pursuing orthodontic treatment.
