Jaw Problems & Treatment in Trowell

Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Some patients in Trowell have jaw discrepancies that can't be corrected by moving teeth alone. 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.

Early Assessment in Trowell

Many orthodontic problems are easier to treat when identified early — particularly in growing patients where jaw development can still be guided. Orthodontists generally recommend a first assessment by age 7–8, not because treatment starts then, but because a specialist can identify developing problems that benefit from early intervention.
