Low self-esteem due to mandible prognathism



I was always made fun of by other people because of my protruding chin. They would call me a witch. It broke my heart. If I covered my chin, I looked fine so I would always wear a scarf. But I was sick and tired of hiding my face. I was able to find a slim, beautiful face that I’ve always wanted only because I met ID Hospital.



+Symptoms
When the lower chin protrudes or the face is long, we commonly call it prominent mandible. In most cases, malocclusion is another symptom and it causes the following discomforts.


-Esthetic factors
The face looks long because of the protruding chin, breaking the overall balance of the face and the jaw line and neckline do not look defined.


-Psychological factors

enunciation.


-Functional factors
Malocclusion causes jaw disabilities, discomfort in chewing, and digestion problems.
