Macrognathia

ICD-10 Code
Q75.4_1

Clinical Criteria for Macrognathia.

Clinical Presentation & Protocol

Patient Usually Complains Of

Patient presents for evaluation of mandibular/maxillary prominence. Reports concerns regarding facial aesthetics, difficulty with mastication, and potential malocclusion. Onset noted during [childhood/adolescence/adulthood]. No history of trauma or systemic endocrine disorders.

Clinical Examination Findings

Extraoral: Facial asymmetry noted with prominent [mandibular/maxillary] angle. Increased lower facial height. Intraoral: Class [I/II/III] malocclusion, significant overjet/underbite, spacing or crowding observed. Cephalometric analysis confirms skeletal discrepancy consistent with macrognathia.

Treatment Protocol

Treatment plan: 1. Orthodontic alignment to manage dental compensation. 2. Orthognathic surgery consultation for skeletal correction. 3. Serial cephalometric and 3D imaging for surgical planning. 4. Post-operative stabilization and functional therapy.
