Private orthodontic treatment for jaw-related conditions (standard course) costs in Perry Common generally sit between £1,500 and £5,500. Orthognathic surgery cases involve additional NHS or private surgical fees on top of orthodontic treatment costs. The referral pathway for jaw surgery begins with your dentist or orthodontist.
Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery
Orthognathic surgery repositions one or both jaws to correct skeletal discrepancies that orthodontics alone cannot address. 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.
The referral pathway from Perry Common begins with your dentist or orthodontist, who refers to an NHS OMFS or a combined orthodontic-surgical clinic. NHS funding covers surgery where there is a clear functional need. Recovery takes several weeks, but for patients with significant jaw discrepancies the outcomes — in both function and appearance — cannot be achieved any other way.

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