Underdevelopment or incomplete development of the jaw or jawbones.
From 'atelo-' (incomplete) + 'gnathia' (from Greek 'gnathos' meaning jaw), creating a term for congenital jaw defects that emerged in dentistry and orthodontics.
Patients with atelognathia might have jaws that are too small or malformed, causing cascading problems with eating, breathing, and appearance—it's a condition where the foundation of the face arrived incomplete.
