Can jaw alignment be corrected without surgery?

Yes. Many jaw alignment problems such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite can be corrected without surgery, especially when treated during childhood or adolescence. Functional orthodontic appliances guide natural jaw growth. Orthognathic surgery is usually considered only in adults with severe skeletal discrepancies.

Will jaw alignment treatment change my face shape?

In many cases, yes. Correcting jaw alignment can improve facial balance, jawline definition, and lip support. Patients with recessed jaws often notice a more harmonious facial profile after treatment.

At what age are jaw alignment appliances most effective?

Jaw alignment appliances are most effective between the ages of 8 and 14 years, when jaw bones are still growing and more responsive to orthopedic correction. Treatment in adults is possible but usually focuses on tooth movement rather than jaw growth.

Is orthodontic treatment covered by insurance in India?

Most health insurance policies in India classify orthodontic treatment as cosmetic and do not cover it. Some corporate or employer-provided insurance plans may offer limited OPD dental reimbursement. Jaw correction due to trauma or accidents may be covered in specific cases.

Do jaw alignment appliances need to be combined with braces or aligners?

Yes, in most cases. Jaw alignment appliances are usually used first to correct skeletal problems. After that, braces or clear aligners are required to straighten teeth and stabilize the bite. This two-phase approach ensures long-term functional and aesthetic results.
