Not all orthodontic problems are purely about tooth position. Working out whether a problem is dental or skeletal is the critical first step. Early specialist assessment is always the right starting point.
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 West Brompton with significant TMJ symptoms should seek assessment from an orofacial pain specialist as a first step, before pursuing orthodontic treatment.

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.
The referral pathway from West Brompton begins with your dentist or orthodontist, who refers to an NHS OMFS or a combined orthodontic-surgical clinic. NHS funding covers surgery where there is a clear functional need. Recovery takes several weeks, but for patients with significant jaw discrepancies the outcomes — in both function and appearance — cannot be achieved any other way.
