Orthodontist for child underbite / recessed jaw – Hertfordshire?

Hi all, hoping for recommendations.

My daughter may have a recessed upper jaw / possible underbite and I’d like her assessed by an orthodontist who treats this early in children, not just braces or Invisalign later.

Does anyone know of orthodontists in Hertfordshire or surrounding area who do interceptive orthodontics (eg palatal expansion or facemask therapy) for Class III / underbite cases?

Also interested to hear experiences if your child had this treated.

Thanks!

These orthodontists do that kind of work on children but I don't know at what age they will start. If orthodontics dont work, there is jaw surgery available after the age of 18
