Jaw-related problems are among the more complex conditions treated by specialists in Whitton. Some patients in Whitton have jaw discrepancies that can't be corrected by moving teeth alone. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
Jaw Surgery Referral from Whitton
If your orthodontist identifies a skeletal jaw problem requiring surgical correction, they will refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgery team. Pre-surgical orthodontics (typically 12-18 months) aligns the teeth before surgery repositions the jaws. Post-surgical orthodontics refines the bite after healing.
NHS jaw surgery is available for significant functional cases. Private surgical treatment is also available and arranged more quickly. A specialist consultation is the appropriate first step to understand whether surgery is indicated.

Skeletal Jaw Discrepancies
Skeletal underbite (Class III) is where the lower jaw has grown larger or more forward than the upper one. Mild versions can sometimes be managed with camouflage orthodontics alone; moderate to severe cases, especially in adults, need 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 from uneven jaw growth causes a chin point off-centre and mismatched midlines. Mild asymmetry is common; significant asymmetry affecting function may require surgical correction.
Skeletal open bite — front teeth that don't meet due to vertical jaw growth patterns. Often requires surgical correction in adults when severe.
