Micrognathia
Micrognathia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally small jaw, particularly the lower jaw or mandible. This condition can affect a person's ability to chew, speak, and breathe properly. It may occur as an isolated issue or as part of a syndrome, which can include other physical or developmental challenges.
Micrognathia can be diagnosed through physical examination and imaging studies. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and underlying causes, and may include orthodontic interventions, surgery, or speech therapy. Early diagnosis and management are important for improving function and quality of life for affected individuals.
