Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. 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.
Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies
Skeletal underbite (Class III) occurs when the lower jaw is larger or more forward than the upper jaw. Mild cases can be addressed with camouflage orthodontics. Moderate to severe cases — particularly in adults — require orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
Skeletal overbite / retrognathism is the reverse — the lower jaw sits noticeably smaller or further back than the upper one. In children, a functional appliance can guide jaw growth to correct it; in adults with a severe case, jaw surgery is sometimes the only route.
Facial asymmetry caused by uneven jaw growth shows up as an off-centre chin point and midlines that don't line up. A mild degree of this is genuinely common and not a concern; only when it's pronounced enough to affect function does surgical correction come into the conversation.
Skeletal open bite — front teeth that don't meet due to vertical jaw growth patterns. Often requires surgical correction in adults when severe.

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 New Hunstanton with real TMJ symptoms should see an orofacial pain specialist first, ahead of considering orthodontic treatment.
