Mandibular Prognathism
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mandibular prognathism is a growth disorder in which the lower jaw projects forward more than usual, affecting the bite and the profile of the face.
Common symptoms: difficulty biting or chewing, misalignment of the teeth and, in some cases, discomfort in the jaw joint.
Which specialist treats it? The orthodontist and the dentist are the ones who evaluate the bite and the position of the jaws to define follow-up options.
If you notice that your jaw sticks out or that your bite does not fit well, a check-up with these professionals can clarify the situation.
