Jaw-related problems are among the more complex conditions treated by specialists in Northwick Park. Some patients in Northwick Park have jaw discrepancies that can't be corrected by moving teeth alone. Many of these conditions are treatable, and early diagnosis improves outcomes.
Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies
Skeletal underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need orthognathic surgery to reposition one or both jaws.
Skeletal overbite / retrognathism — lower jaw significantly smaller or further back than the upper. Functional appliances guide jaw growth in children; severe adult cases may need jaw surgery.
Facial asymmetry from uneven jaw growth causes a chin point off-centre and mismatched midlines. Mild asymmetry is common; significant asymmetry affecting function may require surgical correction.
Skeletal open bite — front teeth that don't meet due to vertical jaw growth patterns. Often requires surgical correction in adults when severe.
Near Northwick Park: the nearest practice with a specialist orthodontist: Brent Dental Specialist (1.7 miles), one of 7 within 20 miles; treating children, where growth can still be guided: Katz and Madhok Orthodontics in Edgware (4.1 miles), one of 2 within 20 miles.
Jaw Surgery Referral from Northwick 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.
