Facial mandibular asymmetry, treatment in Barcelona with Birbe Clinic
Mandibular facial asymmetry is one of the most recurrent consultations at our clinic. A malformation that can affect only the mandible , chin or the maxillomandibular complex. Undoubtedly, this problem alters the facial aesthetics and function of the mouth and teeth. At Birbe Clinic, we are specialists in facial mandibular asymmetry and treatment in Barcelona. If you would like to know more about this issue, keep reading below.
Facial asymmetry occurs when there is an alteration of the symmetrical harmony, thus unbalancing the facial features, which, in numerous instances, is visible at first sight. It is true that most human beings are not perfectly symmetrical, neither in our face nor in our body in general. However, there are people who suffer from this asymmetry in a more obvious way. There are different degrees of asymmetry.
The mildest levels are those that can be seen with the naked eye, but which only affect the aesthetic level. However, the most serious cases not only suffer from an aesthetic problem, but also from other health problems, condylar hyperplasia, hemifacial microsomia, hemimandibular hypertrophy, hemimandibular elongation, asymmetric Class III malocclusions (the most recurrent), Class II or open bite.
To analyze this problem, it is necessary to diagnose all three planes of space: vertical, anteroposterior and transverse. Depending on the problems that exist in these three planes, one malformation or another will be diagnosed. For example, in the case of the vertical plane, the patient may suffer from open bite problems; in the case of the anteroposterior plane: mandibular retrognathism or prognathism.
Mandibular facial asymmetry: causes of this alteration
When we think about the causes that can lead to facial asymmetry in a person, we classify them into three main groups:
- Genetics is one of the most recurrent aspects that cause this malformation. On many occasions, there is a hereditary cause that explains this lack of harmony, although there are also congenital problems, such as cleft lip, that can cause it.
- Trauma or bad habits: as we have already mentioned, habits such as thumb sucking can cause malocclusion and facial asymmetry. Also oral and dental trauma caused by an accident.
- Alterations in growth: crossbite, for example, is one of the malformations caused by poor growth of the maxillary bones.
- Trauma to the mandible during growth
Mandibular facial asymmetry treatment: what do we do in our clinic?
The innovative technology we have at our clinic allows to superimpose both sides of your face and detect the differences. This allows us to carry out a detailed study of a patient’s face. Thanks to this, we can see what differences exist, at a skeletal, jaw or cheekbone level, between the two sides of the face. We carry out virtual simulations, intraoral scans and cone beam CT scans, among others, to carry out each step safely and efficiently. For orthognathic surgery patients we make a virtual surgical planning (VSP) in the computer so that you can see your surgery virtually before executing it.
Therefore, after a comprehensive diagnosis we can propose several treatment options to correct your facial asymmetry which typically are:
- Surgical camouflage.
- Orthognathic surgery.
- Orthodontics.
