  the lower jaw. It occurs when the teeth are not
  properly aligned due to the shape of the face
  bones.This is a very common syndrome. This refers
  to the problem of protruding jaw. This is also
  known as Habsburg jaw. It is the condition where
  the jaw shifts from the usual alignment and hence
  looks protruding.

Types of Prognathism

• Maxillary prognathism
• Alveolar prognathism
• Mandibular prognathism

Maxillary prognathism

• The surgical correction of mandibular prognathism
  has traditionally involved repositioning of the
  mandibular body. This treatment approach corrects
  the skeletal disproportion at the expense of
  reducing facial skeletal volume and can
  unpredictably result in incompletely supported
  soft tissues with loss of skeletal definition.

Alveolar prognathism

• Habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting
  can result in or exaggerate an alveolar
  prognathism,Alveolar prognathism can also be
  corrected with fixed orthodontic therapy.
  However, repetition is quite common, unless the
  cause is removed or a long-term preservation is
  used.

Mandibular prognathism

• Mandibular prognathism is a disfiguring genetic
  disorder where the lower jaw out grows the upper
  , results in an extended chin. This condition is
  colloquially known as lantern jaw, as well as
  Habsburg jaw,.This has provided tools for people
  interested in studying genetics and pedigree
  analysis. Most instances are considered
  polygenetic.
