What does mandibular retraction mean? Mandibular retraction facial analysis

The receding mandible is commonly known as a retracted chin. The chin is called a ground pavilion in physiognomy. It mainly represents the fortune in old age and family concepts. A retracted chin is very taboo in physiognomy. So what does mandibular retraction mean? Let’s learn more about it with the editor below.

The mandible is divided into the body and the ascending ramus, and the two sides of the body are united in the median. There are two bony protrusions above the ascending ramus of the mandible. The one at the back is called the condyle, and the one at the front is called the coracoid process (muscular process). The concave edge between the two is called the sigmoid notch. The intersection of the posterior edge of the ascending ramus and the lower edge of the mandible is called the mandibular angle. There is a hole in the middle of the inner side of the ascending ramus called the mandibular foramen. The tube extending downward and forward in the mandible is called the mandibular foramen.

Mandibular retrusion is a type of malocclusion in which the mandible is receding due to incomplete mandibular development or congenital lack of lower anterior teeth and incomplete function of the lateral pterygoid muscles. Clinical manifestations of mandibular retrusion are:

1. The mandible is retracted, the maxillary position is basically normal, the front teeth are deeply overjetted, the upper front teeth are obviously tilted, the lower front teeth are high and bite on the lingual protuberance of the upper front teeth or the palatal mucosa, the lower lip is attached to the lingual surface of the upper front teeth, and the occlusal relationship of the posterior teeth is distal.

2. The mandible is retracted and the front teeth are in deep overbite. The upper front teeth bite lingually on the labial gums of the lower front teeth, the lower front teeth bite on the upper palate mucosa, and the occlusal relationship of the posterior teeth is distal.

3. The mandible is retracted, the lower dental arch is smaller than the upper dental arch, the lower 1/3 of the face becomes shorter, and the mandible appears more retracted when viewed from the side.

4. If the upper front teeth are deeply overbite, the upper front teeth are exposed outside the mouth, and the lower jaw and chin appear to be retracted in the side view, making the upper and lower jaws extremely disproportionate.

Mandibular retrusion

The physiognomy book says that a retracted jaw means people are impatient in doing things and have no nest at home. People with a retracted mandible have poor persistence in doing things. They start but never finish. They are not proactive and have an introverted personality. However, they are easily impulsive and do things without considering the consequences. People with retracted mandibles will slip away when faced with difficulties and will not make efforts to change. They tend to retreat. Such people tend to have small temperament and small minds, and have bad relationships with relatives and friends. They wander throughout their lives, so it is said that they have no home.

People with retracted mandible are timid, uncommunicative, suspicious, and stingy. Although some people with retracted mandibles can make a fortune, they are prone to lose it and have poor saving ability. If they have money, they will squander it all or have it spent by their relatives. They should develop the habit of saving money to prevent a miserable old age. This kind of person is even more difficult to get along with. Not only is he cold and selfish, he also tends to be sarcastic and harsh in his words, which is very unbearable.

Women with receding chins have no patience in dealing with problems, get annoyed easily, and have memory problems. They will mainly be dissatisfied with their marriage and family. Their husbands are not proactive and are perfunctory and negligent in doing things. They are very likely to get divorced, which is also due to fate.

The chin is an important indicator for observing a person's fortune in his later years. If the chin is retracted, the ancients believed that people with such a chin would be prone to living a lonely life in their later years, and their economic conditions would be poor. Their later years would be getting worse and worse. After the age of 60, their fortune would go downhill, unless their forehead was shiny or the area from the chin to the cheekbones was full and elastic to resolve this possibility.

Health conditions of people with retruded mandible

People with a short and retracted chin often have a retracted tongue and tongue root. When they open their mouths for oral examination, the root of the tongue will obviously bulge upwards, completely covering the uvula (hanging uvula). The tongue must be pressed down with a tongue depressor to see the oropharynx, uvula and tonsils. Moreover, the posterior edge of the tongue root is often very close to the posterior pharyngeal wall and tonsils, causing the anterior-posterior diameter of the oropharynx (airway) to be relatively narrow.
