A condition where the upper and lower jaws have different sizes or shapes, causing an uneven bite or facial asymmetry.
From Greek 'anisos' (unequal) + 'gnathos' (jaw) + '-ism' (condition). This dental/medical term describes malocclusions caused by jaw size differences.
Unlike simple crooked teeth, anisognathism is a jaw structural issue where one jaw grew bigger than the other—it's relatively rare but can be dramatically corrected with modern orthodontics!
