Private orthodontic treatment for jaw-related conditions (standard course) costs in Stubbings 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.
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 caused by uneven jaw growth shows up as an off-centre chin point and midlines that don't line up. A mild degree of this is genuinely common and not a concern; only when it's pronounced enough to affect function does surgical correction come into the conversation.
Skeletal open bite means the front teeth simply don't meet, a result of how the jaw has grown vertically. Severe adult cases often need surgical correction rather than orthodontics alone.

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.
The relationship between bite and TMJ symptoms is complex. While orthodontics can correct bite issues that may contribute to TMJ loading, it is not a guaranteed treatment for TMJ pain. Patients in Stubbings with significant TMJ symptoms should seek assessment from an orofacial pain specialist as a first step, before pursuing orthodontic treatment.
