TMJ, Underbite & Jaw Surgery in Willow Green

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.

Teen Orthodontics in Willow Green

For teenagers in Willow Green, orthodontics improves far more than just the smile. Active jaw growth lets orthodontists in Willow Green guide the teeth more efficiently. A photo assessment is a low-pressure first step for a hesitant teenager.

Timing — When Should Teenagers Start?

The ideal age for most treatment is 11–14 — after most adult teeth have erupted but while jaw growth is still active. That growth lets orthodontists guide teeth more efficiently and, in some cases, use it to correct bite problems that would need more invasive treatment in an adult.
