Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. 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.

Jaw Surgery Referral from Pomeroy
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.

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 — 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.
