Mandibular retrognathia in Barcelona: excellent service with Birbe Clinic
Mandibular retrognathism occurs when the lower jaw is in a more retruded position than normal and is smaller. As a result, the upper jaw is more advanced, causing aesthetic and functional problems for the patient. For this reason, at Birbe Clinic, together with the best specialists, we offer a service dedicated to mandibular retrognathia in Barcelona, to solve retrognathism for all patients who require it.
Problems such as upper and lower teeth malposition; facial pain; apnea; alterations in diction, swallowing and chewing; temporomandibular joint and aesthetic disorders are some of the most important ones that can cause discomfort and self-esteem difficulties for the person who suffers from it. But what causes this disorder? In the vast majority of cases, a receding jaw is caused by a mandibular growth impairment, which conditions the normal growth and development of the jaws. However, certain habits, such as thumb sucking or having used a dummy for a long time during childhood, can also influence the insufficient development of the lower jaw and the increased growth of the upper jaw.
Retrognathic surgery and treatments: what do they consist of and in which cases should they be performed?
Also known as class 2 or mandibular or maxillomandibular hypoplasia, it can be corrected depending on the causes that have produced this retraction. People who suffer from this condition in a mild form may not require any surgical treatment. However, in more severe cases, they may undergo certain treatments such as class 2 orthognathic surgery.
To know what treatment should be carried out, it is crucial that our specialists carry out a diagnosis, to be able to differentiate the causal factor of class 2 skeletal malocclusions. In the case of the youngest children, this problem can be corrected with orthodontics alone, as a special headgear can be used to reduce the growth time of the upper jaw so that both jaws grow in a proportional and coordinated manner.
However, in the most severe cases, in adults and adolescents, there are no orthodontic-only treatments that can make the jaw grow or reduce the size of the upper jaw. So, surgery or intervention, combined with orthodontics, will be the key to successful treatment.
In the case of patients who only have dental difficulties and want to correct their occlusion, orthodontics will be the most effective method. On the other hand, for those who have a good occlusion, but have a receding chin, chin surgery will be the best option.
However, when the person suffers from more serious respiratory issues, apart from aesthetic ones, such as obstructive sleep apnea, bimaxillary advancement is the most appropriate, combined with subsequent orthodontic treatment.
There are two different types of surgery: monomaxillary and bimaxillary, depending on whether we modify one or both jaws.
With these two different treatments, we also obtain different results. In general, mono maxillary surgery solves the problem of dental malocclusion and involves fewer facial changes than bimaxillary surgery. On the one hand, we move the jaw forward to improve the incorrect position of the lower teeth and chin, which are set back in relation to the rest of the face. On the other hand, we modify the open bite that appears when the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly when the mouth closes, leaving an open space in the anterior area. Finally, we correct mandibular asymmetry, i.e. the wrong position between the chin and the teeth, as the chin deviates to one side. We can also widen the palate, thus opening up the airway and solving cross bites
