Slightly Prominent Chin
Retrognathia, also known as "short jaw syndrome," is a dentofacial condition in which the upper and lower jaws are misaligned, affecting both the aesthetics and function of the face. This misalignment makes the lower jaw appear recessed or too small compared to the upper jaw, which can disrupt facial harmony and create a less defined profile. The upper and lower jaws play a crucial role in the aesthetics of the lower third of the face and in the proper function of the bite. Retrognathia can present in varying degrees, from a receding chin to a jaw that is shorter than usual, affecting the overall proportions of the face.
