In the oropharynx, narrowing may be caused by an enlarged tongue, mandibular retrognathia (i.e., abnormal posterior positioning of mandible), excessive lymphoid tissue, large palantine tonsils, or redundant retroglossal folds. (cdho.org)
Tongue18
Since the jaw is so small, the tongue will be positioned at the back of the mouth and it might be referred to as a displaced tongue or as "balled up" in the back of the mouth. (ibis-birthdefects.org)
Glossoptosis refers to downward displacement or retraction of the tongue that may occur secondary to abnormal smallness of the lower jaw (micrognathia). (brainandnervecenter.com)
Yet, to breathe through the mouth, the tongue must be lowered and must not be in contact with the palate, otherwise air would not pass through. (sylvainchamberland.com)
In a growing patient, the tongue thus lowered almost permanently to facilitate mouth breathing does not participate in the development in width of the palate as the child grows up. (sylvainchamberland.com)
These abnormalities in jaw and tongue are more or less evident at birth . (symptoma.com)
Deformation of the jaw and tongue may result in respiratory trouble in newborn. (symptoma.com)
This means that the tongue muscles as well as the tissues in the lower jaw are also put under pressure and cannot slide back into the rear in the neck. (mobilechannel.net)
Because these muscles in the mouth are connected to the jaw's lower part as well, the base of the tongue is also in tension and pulled to the left. (mobilechannel.net)

A major cause of sleep apnea is poor alignment in the anatomy of the jaw and tongue. (ladydentistanchorage.com)
People with a small and recessed lower jaw are at greater risk of tongue snoring as they have less space in that part of their airway. (snorelab.com)
these work by moving the jaw forward to prevent the tongue falling back. (snorelab.com)
In cephalometric tracing, the PAS was assessed by measuring the distance from the lower portion of the soft palate to the posterior pharyngeal wall (UP-PHW) and from the tongue base to the posterior pharyngeal wall (TB-PHW). (bvsalud.org)
Soft palate, tongue, hyoid bone and associated musculature are directly or indirectly inserted in the jaw, therefore movements in those structures induce alterations in the oral and nasal cavity and on the PAS 1-5 . (bvsalud.org)
Those studies are based on lateral cephalometric analysis 1,6 and indicate that the most significant anatomic variation is the lower position of the hyoid bone and consequently the lower position of the tongue base in OSA patients 4-5,7 . (bvsalud.org)

[ 2 ] They surveyed (via questionnaires) numerous aspects, among them, the difference between "retrognathia" and "micrognathia" and whether the cleft type (ie, "U-shaped" versus "V-shaped") had any influence in the decision-making process. (medscape.com)

During Electromyography or EMG, two electrodes are placed on the chin, one above the jaw line and the other below. (online-health-guide.com)
This involves accessing the inner and outer edges of the platysma muscle through small incisions below the chin and occasionally behind the ears. (drfedele.com)
Airway6
The underdevelopment of the jaw and nose may result in upper airway obstruction and breathing difficulties in young children. (brainandnervecenter.com)
The Cranio Facial abnormalities associated with the disorder, such as small nostrils and glossoptosis, can cause obstruction of the upper airway, particularly during the newborn period and infancy. (brainandnervecenter.com)
In addition, there have also been reports in which respiratory insufficiency (e.g., due to a narrow upper airway and/or tracheomalacia) has resulted in enlargement and strain of the lower right chamber (ventricle) of the heart (cor pulmonale) and possibly the left ventricle as well, leading to heart failure. (brainandnervecenter.com)
Anterior growth of the lower jaw also moves the tongue's position of posture forward and further away from the airway. (marylandholisticdentist.com)
Using this strategy kids will end up with teeth that are straight but upper and lower jaws that are proportionately small and too close to the throat and main oropharyngeal airway. (marylandholisticdentist.com)
For example, patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a smaller pharyngeal airway because of abnormal skeletal and soft tissue patterns. (jorthodsci.org)
Nasal5
with a narrow nasal bridge, small nostrils and underdeveloped nasal cartilage that tends to become more convex (beaked) with age. (brainandnervecenter.com)
Orthodontic expanders accomplish this by optimizing the shape and size of the mouth, jaws and nasal passageways for better airflow during inhalation and exhalation. (marylandholisticdentist.com)
Having a stuffy nose or small nostrils can make nasal breathing turbulent or impossible. (snorelab.com)

Orthognathic Surgery is not intended to replace orthodontics for straightening the teeth when the relationship to the jaws is within the normal range, but cannot change the relationship of the jaw, Orthognathic surgery is usually done in conjunction with orthodontics to provide the best possible end result.
