Protruding Chin:

Orthognathic Surgery in Rome

Understanding and Treatment Options in Orthognathic Surgery in Rome
Protruding chin, locally referred to as “Scucchia” or “Succhia” in regions such as Lazio, Umbria, Campania, and Basilicata, describes a condition where the chin is notably prominent. This term is associated with a dentoskeletal malocclusion known as “Class III” or prognathism. Prognathism involves the forward displacement of the lower jaw (mandible) relative to the upper jaw (maxilla), causing the chin to protrude and resulting in significant facial asymmetry.
