The 3D relationship of a patient’s lower jaw to their upper jaw is referred to as a skeletal pattern. This is exceptionally important to consider when achieving orthodontic goals. For instance some patients have larger lower jaws and thus present with underbites. A patient is often told treatment goals can’t be reached without jaw surgery. Dr. Hung has developed specific limited treatment plans that can target a patient’s main concerns of front teeth misalignment without the need for jaw surgery. This type of treatment can help hide the disharmony in the jaw making facial proportions more pleasing.
