Maxillary prognathism, also known as class 3 bite, is a malformation of the jaw that causes the jaw to be too large and the chin to project forward too far. This disorder is often associated with other problems, such as cross bite or open bite.
There are three different types of prognathism that can occur. On the one hand, mandibular hyperplasia, when there is excessive growth of the jaw; on the other hand, maxillary hypoplasia, when the upper jaw has not grown as it should; and thirdly, there are cases in which the person suffers from a combination of both. In fact, these are the most frequent cases.
Causes and consequences of a prognathous jaw in Birbe Clinic patients
There are several causes of this disorder. On the one hand, there are usually genetic causes, due to a family history of having suffered or suffering from difficulties in the jaw and chin, or having a deficit in the growth of the upper jaw (maxillary prognathism). On the other hand, sometimes the cause of excessive jaw growth can be caused by growth hormone. In the case of growth disorders, such as hyperplasia of the condyle, hemimandibular elongation or hemimandibular hypertrophy, prognathism is the result of a growth disorder often associated with asymmetry of the face.
There have been cases in which, when the primary molars have fallen prematurely, i.e. the baby molars, the children have ended up suffering from a malformation of the jaw. Or cases in which, although they have the correct bone bases, they have suffered dental malposition. It is for this reason that it is essential to differentiate whether the patient we are treating suffers this problem as a result of a skeletal base prognathism or a dental prognathism. The treatment, therefore, will be different. In one case surgical, while in the other orthodontic.
Although many people do not believe it, this malformation not only causes an aesthetic issue, but also a functional one. Most people who suffer from it tend to have difficulty biting, chewing, and even speaking. In fact, with the passage of time, it can cause pathologies in the TMJ, Temporomandibular Joint, which is the joint that joins the jaw to the skull. It also leads to difficulties of excessive wear of the teeth and gum recession, with severe periodontal problems.

To be able to offer you a good treatment to correct mandibular prognathism at an adequate price, our specialists must carry out a previous diagnosis to analyse each of the required aspects, such as the causes, the consequences suffered by the patient, age, among others.
What are the treatments for lower prognathism that we carry out?
After carrying out a proper diagnosis, at Birbe Clinic we analyse which treatment is the most appropriate in each case, depending on the level of prognathism that the patient has. Therefore, orthodontics, bimaxillary or monomaxillary orthognathic surgery and mentoplasty or a combination of the two methods will be the most common treatments that our patients with this malformation will undergo. Beforehand, a study will be carried out to analyse the facial structure and decide which treatment is the most suitable to achieve the best results. Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) allows us to perform the surgery virtually on the computer, analyse the planning and, once the movements have been optimized, print surgical splints that allow us to faithfully reproduce the previously planned movements. You will also be able to see your surgery before performing it so that you will understand perfectly the need to perform certain orthognathic movements.
What does the class 3 orthognathic operation that we perform in our clinic consist of?
This surgical intervention focuses on the position of the jaw, which can move in three different dimensions, depending on the deficiencies of the patient. Therefore, the jaw can be retracted or moved forward to correct the erroneous position and find the harmony that allows the person not only to look good aesthetically, but also to be able to speak precisely, eat well and solve other recurring problems in this disorder. In some cases, bimaxillary surgery is performed, in which the position of the upper maxilla and mandible is corrected.
Why is treatment important if you suffer from class 3 orthognathics?
In our clinic, our experts in mandibular prognathism in Barcelona trust in the effective treatments that can be carried out to improve the aesthetics of the patient and solve all the problems caused by this malformation.
