Jaw Problems & Treatment in Teandalloch
Jaw problems range from mild functional discomfort to complex skeletal discrepancies. 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.
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.

Teeth Problems Treated by Orthodontists in Teandalloch
Many people in Teandalloch live with orthodontic problems without realising there are effective solutions. They affect chewing, speech and long-term dental health, not just appearance. Recognising which problem you have makes the treatment conversation far clearer.
Early Assessment in Teandalloch
Many orthodontic problems are easier to treat when identified early — particularly in growing patients where jaw development can still be guided.
