Early Assessment in Upper Nobut

Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Patients in Upper Nobut with jaw pain, significant bite issues or visible asymmetry should seek specialist assessment. 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.
