Occasionally, mother nature plays “tricks” on a person’s jaws. One jaw may grow too large or too small for the opposing jaw. If the jaws are not the same size or do not relate well to the size of the face, significant problems with chewing, swallowing, and digesting food can occur. In addition, TMD problems can occur, and not infrequently, the abnormality can be noticed in the facial appearance.
