Description

Mandibular prognathism, commonly known as underbite, protruding lower jaw, or extended chin, is a condition where the lower jaw sits forward of the upper jaw, creating both functional and cosmetic challenges. People with this forward-positioned lower jaw may notice their lower teeth overlapping the upper teeth, leading to a distinctive facial profile often described as a strong or prominent chin. Besides giving the appearance of a jutting chin, mandibular prognathism can cause difficulties with biting, chewing, and speaking, and may even result in jaw pain or speech issues. Whether inherited, developed during growth, or caused by other health conditions, this misaligned jaw can impact confidence and quality of life. Thankfully, advanced treatments and corrective jaw surgery, like double jaw surgery, can restore balance, improve function, and help patients achieve a more harmonious facial appearance.
