Orthodontic Issues Seen in Newhouse
The problems below cover the great majority of cases assessed in Newhouse, from the very common to the more complex.
Jaw Alignment & Bite Issues in Newhouse
Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. They span TMJ pain through to skeletal discrepancies that may need jaw surgery. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
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.
