FACIAL DEFORMITY CORRECTION

Craniofacial syndromes and their manifestations The study of disordered development with identifiable morphologic abnormalities is called dysmorphology. Recognizably, these fall outside the range of normal facial variation in human beings. The aim of dysmorphic assessments is to interpret their pattern and diagnose the structural anomalies. More frequently, congenital anomalies have caught the medical attention with gradual and growing advances in the field of clinical genetics. The human genome consists of approximately 80000 genes and some rare syndromes are yet to be identified.

  • Overbite – class II malocclusion known as excessive overjet – associated with excessive growth of the maxillary or deficiency in mandibular growth
  • Underbite – class III malocclusion or negative overjet – deficient growth of the maxillary and excessive growth of the mandible
  • Open bite – upper and lower teeth gaps
  • Occlusal cants also known as crooked smile or facial asymmetries
  • Overgrowth of the upper jaw also known as vertical maxillary excess with too much exposure to the gums
