👉 The term "orthognathus" refers to a condition in which an individual's teeth are tilted forward, causing them to be visible when viewed from the side. This can occur due to various factors such as malocclusion (a misalignment of the jaw), underdevelopment of the jaw joint, or even tooth decay and infection. Orthognathic disorders can cause issues with speech, bite alignment, and overall dental health.
