Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. This guide explains TMJ, skeletal bites and when orthognathic surgery is involved.
Jaw Surgery Referral from Repton 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.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders
The TMJ joints, one on each side of the face, are what connect the lower jaw to the skull. Signs of TMJ disorder (TMJD) include jaw or facial pain (often worst on waking), clicking or popping when opening or closing the mouth, a limited range of opening, temple headaches, and earache with no infection behind it.
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 Repton Park with real TMJ symptoms should see an orofacial pain specialist first, ahead of considering orthodontic treatment.
