A medical condition where the lower jaw is abnormally short or underdeveloped.
From Greek 'brachy-' meaning short and 'gnathos' meaning jaw, combined with the medical suffix '-ia'.
Some dog breeds like Bulldogs are intentionally bred to have brachygnathia, which gives them that cute smushed-face look—but the condition actually causes serious breathing and eating problems for them!
